Hi Peter!

I understand. Let me deliver the intended direction, scope, and goals
in a document (currently still under development) and hope to hear
what you think. I certainly value the insights everybody have been
sharing into what the networking library should and should not
contain, and how and how not things should be done.

I admit, I'm not very good at writing documentation -- but I do think
a lot in terms of actual implementation. I find it hard to write down
directions, goals, and scope but I would gladly implement it in C++
then have people try and use it. Case in point are the other libs I've
developed (the BDD interface and Runtime Dynamic Dispatcher) where the
implementations are code complete, but lacking in documentation -- it
seems that someone always needs to ask a question first before I be
able to explain what it does or doesn't do.

So consider this a call for help in that regard. :D

(If only blogging about it would be good enough... I would have done
that a long time ago) ;-)
