Is there a particular protocol/dissector you're interested in working on 
or creating?

If you're starting a new dissector for a protocol that Wireshark doesn't 
already support, try copying the sample code from the README.developer 
file in the doc directory of the Wireshark source tree.  Also look at 
other protocol dissectorsw already in Wireshark and feel free to 
liberaly copy as long as your code is GPL too :).

Don't worry about it.
