Hi Ulf,
I really like it. And I think it should have a clean not overload
design. Like it is now.
One comment from me:
There is a column 'Online' which I would then expect to contain
all contents which is online. But this is not true... There are
links to the Wiki from other columns... I do not currently have
a a better idea, but this confused me... But maybe it is only me.
Thanks for the very good idea and work!
Best regards
Michael

Hi!
I've just finished the initial version of a Wireshark welcome page.
That welcome page is shown when no capture file is loaded - well,
you'll
immediately see it just when you start Wireshark (SVN25083 or later).
It contains stuff that should be useful to start work with Wireshark
(both helpful for newbies and "old fellows") and contains three parts:
Capture: Start a capture (incl. special help)
Files: Open a file
Online: What to find online
Some remarks:
- as you cannot see this welcome page once a capture file is loaded,
it
doesn't contain stuff related to actually work with a loaded capture
file, e.g. it doesn't contain a link to the protocol reference.
- I wanted to keep the number of items low, to not have too many
confusing details
- I hesitated to put too much work into the implementation before
going
public (although it was already a lot), e.g. the current interface
list
is fixed until a Wireshark restart.
I would be interested in feedback:
- was the page intuitive right from the start or was something really
confusing?
- something missing / should be added?
- should something really be removed?
- what do you think about this page in general?
- bugs?
Regards, ULFL
