I'm reading through the contributor's guide and the first thing it says is to ask on the forums to see who is already working what.

I'm looking for a project to work on in my free time and was thinking I could help expand the protocols for packetbeat. Are there any protocols that top the list that aren't being worked or someone who is working one that would like to work together?

I picked SSH. Let me know if someone else is already doing that! I'm sticking my code here: [https://github.com/grantcurell/beats](https://github.com/grantcurell/beats)
