I have not registered at U3 or joined the developer forum but just from reading the certification page (http://www.u3.com/developers/technical/certification.aspx), it's not entirely clear to me if the 2 free submissions would apply to Wireshark overall or to each version of Wireshark submitted. If it's only a total of 2 free submissions, then perhaps it's not worth pursuing, but if they allow 2 free submissions per version submitted, then it seems like it might be worthwhile (pending the issues Graeme brought up earlier, of course).
I don't know U3's business model, but it would seem to me that hosting freely available tools would attract more interest in U3 applications in general and would probably generate more commercial sales as people peruse the other products hosted there as well. Of course it may be costly for them to always cover the cost of 3rd party certification for all applications, but surely a tool as useful as Wireshark is worth it, right? ;) Sounds like good news on the PortableApps side of things though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joerg Mayer Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 12:02 PM To: Developer support list for Wireshark Subject: Re: [Wireshark-dev] U3 and PortableApps installers On Fri, Jan 04, 2008 at 04:53:09PM +0100, Graeme Lunt wrote: > We would still be limited to two submissions - so the Wireshark version on > u3.com website > would be quickly out of date.

Given the fact that we will time and again find security stuff we should not limit ourselves to two updates. ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list Wireshark-dev@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev ----------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
