I have been talking with Dave Irving who is the principal developer

upon MINA <http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/mina/>, on
bringing the project to the ASF.
I've started a proposal at <http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/
AsyncWebProposal>, assistance from others would be appreciated in
helping flesh it out.
I think this would be a good addition to the ASF, as there are many
projects that can benefit from a Java-based non-blocking HTTP server,
and I would also like to see some collaboration with the
HttpComponents project on their HttpNIO efforts.
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
I know that a few ApacheDS guys have also done some
work on it as well.
As an aside, I'm also a bit befuddled at why MINA lives in the
Directory project - that just seems a bit odd. =)
MINA is expected to propose a move to TLP soon... MINA
started off as a framework for ApacheDS and has grown into
its own very cool codebase.
I'd like to help here as well.
