[Etherape-users] Future directions

[Juan T. <to...@us...>]

You know I usually try to be low key and rather release new versions than
talk much about them, but this time it will be different.

Here is a transcript from the webpage. Please refer to it
for the links to the mentioned documents (remember they are
only in Spanish for now)

Regards,
Juan.

Got my engineering degree (July 20th)


    After successfully presenting EtherApe as my end of degree project, I'm
only short of some paper work to be done with university.      

    I'm available for employment now. If anybody feels like making me an
offer, my mailbox is eagerly open, and here is a link to my CV. Denmark, UK,
The Netherlands, or Florida would be my preferred destinations, but I can
consider others.  

    I'd like to thank everybody that has sent me feedback on their usage of
EtherApe. It has been very useful. Let me tell you that I'm not stopping
development. I'd love to add up the final touches to reach version 1.0 so as
to go on onto more drastic changes for 1.x   

    Before releasing version 1.0 I'd like to have:

        * User chosen methods for protocol color assignments.
        * User chosen alternatives for name display.
        * Finished basic online documentation.

    Stuff to do afterwards include:

        * Turning the capture engine into its own library in order to help
          the development of further front ends. 
        * Developing a generalized scheme for multiple, remote network
          interface reading. This should help in switched environments and
          in building a way to overview a whole system, not just a LAN.
        * More statistics windows.
        * Ability to dump information gathered onto a file, or a database.



End of degree project documentation

    As part of the process of the end of degree project, I had to write some
documentation. Unfortunately it had to be written in Spanish, and so it will
only be available in that language until I get around to translating it. 

    There are two documents:

        * The report: This version includes the skeleton of a couple of
          chapters that were not included in the final version, but that I
          intend to finish writing. Comments are welcome. 
        * The presentation: Slides for the 20 minutes presentation. I guess
          they are not that useful without the spoken commentary, but I post
          it here for completeness.
