It really depends on that you want to do, the only common thing is to look
at the WSDG (Wireshark Developers Guide) and the READMEs in doc/ and of
course to compile Wireshark yourself. Once you are there you need to decide
where to go next - enhance an existing protocol, add a new protocol, work
on one of the GUIs etc. In case you you have only a rough idea of what you
want to do, just ask again.

Don't worry, it isn't - feel free to continue asking!

Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
