Sounds great to me. After that we can gradually move towards a release but
there is a big need for documentation and examples of the code in action.

Yep - they are different sort designs. Netserve is tied to sockets and
network oriented domains where sca is focused on "connection" oriented
domains. ie I use the "Conenctor" component to maintain TCP connections,
Serial Port Connections, JDBC Connections and a few other wierd and
wonderful things.

The Selector stuff basically allows you to manage anything that inherits
from SelectorChannel (Or something similar). ATM I think that sockets are
the only thing that fit this bill but in the future IIUC the Java platform
will have other objects extending SelectorChannel (namely async IO and async
memory mapping/loading).

Anyways will try to blah a bit on it rsn but just going crazy with rl atm.

Cheers,
