1. The Wireshark manuals are written with docbook. The text is in the wsug_src directory here: https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/tree/master/docbook . Information on submitting patches is available here: https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/wikis/Development/SubmittingPatches

2. The missing documentation has the text: "Not yet written. If you would like to fix this, see https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/SubmittingPatches" in the user guide (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html/). This is written in the docbook as {missing}. For an example, see https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/blob/master/docbook/wsug_src/WSUG_chapter_telephony.adoc#L38

I can't speak to the rest of the issues. Thank you for your efforts to improve Wireshark's documentation.

Hello, everyone.
My name is Alex and I was approved for the GSoD for this year. I will be working on documenting the 35 menu items, which are not yet described in the docs.
Before I start (14th of September), I would like to get to know all the workload processes regarding writing the docs.
1. What format and tools are used?
2. Where to find those specific 35 undocumented menu items, which were mentioned in the project ideas?
3. What is the preferred way of the communication? (I prefer mail, Telegram)
4. What do you expect from the tech.writer? (Except for the end result of course)
5. Is there anything else I need to know before I start? Some specific of the project?

Thanks!
Looking forward to work with you.

Alex
