Hi, You might also want to CC Filip Hanik, [EMAIL PROTECTED], on this idea. Filip has been busily working on a NIO HTTP implementation for Tomcat, and has a working version. We've seen some quirky performance out of it. But that's besides the point: I think he might be interested in this, at least as an observer, besides having some practical tips and possibly code to share.

It almost sounds like this would be a good candidate for a software grant instead of meriting a full incubation. How large of a community is around AsyncWeb? From the proposal, it sounds just like one committer - so as long as the IP clearance paperwork is filed, it could go right into MINA. See: http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html As an aside, I'm also a bit befuddled at why MINA lives in the Directory project - that just seems a bit odd. =) That said, I'd be happy to join in on any efforts here (mentor, committer, user, whatever) - even though I'm a lowly C programmer. As you may recall, Greg and I have written an async HTTP engine in C called Serf (http://svn.webdav.org/repos/projects/serf/trunk/) that is built on top of APR plus Subversion can now use it. So, I've a little bit (ha!) of experience with writing these types of frameworks. I've been wondering how the async engine would look like in Java, so this might be a good chance to get my hands dirty there.
