Alex,
I do encourage your group to propose ldapd for the ASF. I don't know if it
would best be an Incubator project or Jakarta (Commons). Personally, I'm
hoping to start work next week on getting JNDI into James, and will want to
follow up with you on using ldapd as we discussed earlier. Is ldapd in
shape to do that?

I recommend that you (a) support nio, and (b) adopt the correct push
programming pattern so that it doesn't matter package is supplying data to
your handlers. That is something we'll be doing with James as well,
although it is not at the front of the priority queue. As you note, it is
absolutely vital when supporting large numbers of connections.
SEDA is interesting. Interesting in part to me because it is essentially
what we were doing 20 years ago with message-passing embedded systems, but
now applied to larger scale Internet applications.
With respect to SSL, that is a known issue. I haven't spoken with Mark in a
while, but I believe that SSL was planned for the 1.5 release.
