Hello WireShark team,

My name is Elbert Dockery, I attend the University of Illinois at Chicago and seen WireShark as one of the organizations looking for students to help code some ideas for open source projects.  

I am interested in coding for WireShark because I have used WireShark very briefly for some class assignments. Although I am not a intermediate or expert user of your network protocol analyzer, the things that I have work done with Wireshark where very interesting.I have coded in C++ and C for classroom homework assignments and projects. 

I have a couple of questions, What ideas and skill level are you looking for in students?
Lastly, whom would I contact directly to answer any more questions that I have for Google of Summer Code related questions?
