Hey, 

I wanted to know more about two of the projects mentioned on the project list,
particularly Capture Permissions, 
i remember reading this on the arch wiki
(this seems to be quoted from wireshark wiki)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireshark#Capturing_as_normal_user

I have a possibly newbie question, I just wanted to know what the drawbacks really are to following the first method, the one where the normal user is added to the wireshark group. I wanted to get in touch with the mentor so i could possibly learn more about this particular project.

Thanks
