Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark Interface Design Paper

Hi all, a few months ago I mentioned in an email [1] that I would be
writing a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) term paper on Wireshark's
user interface. Well, after a couple of drafts, and having now
finished that course I am releasing the paper online [2] for the
(hopeful) benefit of the community.

The paper applies a specific existing HCI theory to Wireshark, so all
of the suggestions and ideas in it are derived from that theory, which
you may or may not agree with. Regardless, hopefully some of the
insights and suggestions will prove useful or thought-provoking.

Cheers,
Evan
