Hi List!

First of all, Mate seems to be a promissing way to provide some higher level analysing stuff IMHO.

As I've looked at the Mate wiki pages to understand what I have to do, some things should be fixed there:

- How should Mate be spelled? I've found three different ways: Mate/mate/MATE. We should only use one of these and I would prefer MATE - I've added a proposal how a new http://wiki.ethereal.com/Mate "MATE homepage" could look like. I would rename the current homepage to Mate/Manual and remove the parts I've copied to my proposal - A basic outline how Mate works is missing and should be added to Mate/Manual. There seems to be a collecting phase, an analysis phase... IMHO this would clarify the understanding what's going on a lot. - The http://wiki.ethereal.com/Mate_2fTesting page might be renamed to GettingStarted or alike, and it should explain how to setup a first time test (where to place the plugin, the configuration file(s) and such) - I've marked some things with XXX in http://wiki.ethereal.com/Mate_2fTesting, could someone fill in useful info? - although the navigation at the top of some of the pages is helpful, this makes it hard to maintain, so I would prefer to remove it

What do others think about that points? Please comment!
