Hi list, As I understood from some mails on the list, some people are looking for development work :) I think one big accomplishment would be to support multiple open captures. This will require a rethink of the global variables used throughout the code. (maybe we want a file declaring all global variables for *any* Ethereal UI, or say the Ethereal core).
Also, we may want to invest some time in evaluating whether we could make the protocol dissectors multithreading-safe (which is not the case today as many protocol dissectors track state with global and/or local static variables). This of course *if* we require the dissection library to be MT-safe (which we may want to do if we support multiple files). As a minimum we should describe the current status of Ethereal, and then come up with a ToDo list based on this state. Looks useful? Looks feasible?
