Right - brian and Junio are correct, I'm hoping to co-mentor with Jonathan. Ronnie, I'm really pleased to see this warm welcome, which makes me optimistic about the kind of experience an intern would have on this project. It would be really great if we could get a volunteer to serve as point-of-contact if the mentee is not sure about something they want to send to the Wireshark list, and possibly to come to an introductory real-time chat (video/voice/IM) to provide a little overview and nudge in the right direction.

It sounds to me like we have enough enthusiasm to put this project on the list, though - if I understood my conversation with Jonathan last week he's planning to add that. Feel free to correct me :)

Thanks, Ronnie and Richard!
