Are there any simple protocols which need a dissector to be added to
Whireshark. I thought of some; but all of them seem to already supported
in Wireshark.

Are there any protocol you can suggest? I would like to develop the
dissector for a simple protocol, and then with the acquired experience
maybe try something more complex.

Check out the bug database: there are plenty of requests for 
improvements, enhancements, and new dissectors, including some 
dissectors that are mostly written but need some cleanup (but the 
cleanup hasn't happened in so long it's unlikely the original author 
will do anything with it).  (Unfortunately some of those bugs may be 
closed as LATER.)

You might also be able to pick up some ideas from either the wishlist[1] or
the GSoC[2] pages.
