All,
Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Charles Wyble. I am the
lead developer on the open source exchange replacement project. I am
working with lkcl (www.lkcl.net) on mapi and exchange reverse
enginering. I would like to take over maitenence of the mapi
dissector. Does any one have any objections to this? My website fyi is
http://www.thewybles.com/~charles . I am in the process of writing up
dociumenation on the whole exchange/mapi decode thing. Look for it
within the next few weeks :)
Hi Charles!
The development model of Ethereal is: Someone (in this case you) are
developing some extensions to an existing dissector (or creates a new
one), and then creates and sends a patch to this list. One of the core
developers (probably not me) will review the patch and check it into the
subversion repository. However, it's always a good idea to ask this list
(as you've done :-) so double effort will be reduced if someone else is
working on the same topic.
So patches are welcome :-)
If you are new to Ethereal development, you might have a look at the
Ethereal Developer's Guide at http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development
(which is incomplete and a bit windows focused as I've written it and I
only develop under Windows) and the file doc/README.developer.
