There is a basic low level socket implementation (socket_base), and Michel André has put together an extension of this for the asynchronous methods on NT. At this stage we need to decide what would be the scope of an initial submission. Is the basic socket design useful in itself, or would the proactor and reactor patterns be required for the library to have any meaning? Is the level 1 design (without reactor/proactor classes) sufficient for client usage? Ultimately I would like to hope that we can build a framework where the choice of procator, reactor and threading decisons can be completely seperated from the application code, with these decisions being implemented as policies. But that is going to take quite a while to get right.... So far everythng has been tested on NT only (vc7, bcc, gcc), so we are especially in need of volunteers for trying things out on unix platforms.
