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!
Afternoon.
The development model of Ethereal is: Someone (in this case you)
nah. not me. my evil twin :)
are
developing some extensions to an existing dissector (or creates a new
one), and then creates and sends a patch to this list.
correct.
One of the core
developers (probably not me) will review the patch and check it into the
subversion repository.
cool. this is the usual way it works with open source projects.
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.
right. i knew lkcl was doing some work in the area, but didn't think he
had gotten to the ethereal portion.
So patches are welcome :-)
i will see what i can cook up.
If you are new to Ethereal development, you might have a look at the
Ethereal Developer's Guide at http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development
thank you. i was un aware of this resource. i would reccomend a more
prominent display of it on the ethereal dev page.
http://ethereal.com/development.html
(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.
yes. i have read the doc/README.developer file. thank you for the
pointer though.
Regards, ULFL
