I have no idea what you're talking about here. This thread had nothing to do with the 0.99.7 release. I started it as a new thread that simply discusses the Network Sorcery site and ways to possibly improve documentation or at least make folks aware of the site, since I find it useful and maybe others would too.

I think the folks at Network Sorcery did a really nice job at presenting the protocols. The protocols are alphabetized so they're easy to find, they use a common format for describing them, protocols cross-reference each other where applicable, links to relevant RFC's are provided, related SNMP MIBs are mentioned, etc., etc.

Is it possible to mirror that site's content on Wireshark's site? And then as we add new protocols, we could use a similar format? At the very least, provide a link to it from Wireshark?

One thought: please don't Reply to an email on one topic and then change
the subject to something completely different. It makes it hard for
those of us who read mail in threads (by conversation as Google would
say it) because your new-subject email shows up as a reply to, in this
case, the thread about the 0.99.7 release.
