Thought folks might be interested in this if you hadn't heard already.
Got this from another mailing list last night.

Ethereal's lead developer has taken a new job, changed the name from
Ethereal to Wireshark and moved the project to wireshark.org.

Looks like the new website is fully developed, complete with new mailing
lists, wiki and docs.  Everything is still up on the ethereal.com site,
however, with no mention of the change (except in the maillist
archives).

From the Gerald Combs post to the Ethereal-users mailing list last
night: 

"I recently accepted a job with CACE Technologies, best known for 
WinPcap.  This means that I get to work with Loris Degioanni and 
Gianluca Varenni, and that my wife and I get to raise our daughter in 
Davis, CA. 

The move also means a major change for the project.  We're continuing 
development under the name "Wireshark", at http://www.wiresharkorg/ . 
The web site, mailing lists, bug tracker, SVN repository, buildbot, and 
other resources are already in place.  All recent source code 
submissions have been checked into the new repository, and automated 
builds are available at http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/ . 

The next version of Wireshark will be 0.99.1.  A prerelease version, 
0.99.1pre1, is available for downlowoad right now at 
http://www.wireshark.org/download/ ."
