+PROJECT PROPOSAL
+
+AsyncWeb: A non-blocking HTTP engine written in Java
+         
+
+RATIONALE
+
+The Directory MINA sub-project is looking to expand beyond just being a protocol/server construction kit and move towards housing implementations of popular protocols.
+
+AsyncWeb is a HTTP engine written on top of MINA. By bringing the project to the ASF and co-locating with MINA, it can leverage the community of MINA committers, gain increased visibility, and integration with other ASF projects.
+
+
+INITIAL SOURCE
+
+The initial source will come from the AsyncWeb project at Safehaus, <http://asyncweb.safehaus.org/>.
+
+
+RESOURCES TO BE CREATED
+
+   * None. (WIll exist in Directory SVN, and utilize existing MINA mailing lists).
+        
+   
+CRITERIA   
+
+Meritocracy:
+
+TODO
+
+Community:
+
+TODO
+
+Core Developers:
+
+TODO
+
+Alignment:
+
+AsyncWeb is closely aligned with MINA, since that is its foundation.
+
+License:
+
+AsyncWeb is already licensed under the Apache License 2.0
+
+
+AVOIDING THE WARNING SIGNS
+
+Orphaned products:
+
+AsyncWeb is not currently orphaned, and by joining MINA, hopes to add vitality to the project.
+
+Inexperience with open source:
+
+The existing AsyncWeb committers have experience working in open source projects.
+
+Homogenous developers:
+
+No two existing committers are from the same company.
+
+No ties to other Apache products:
+
+Just a user of MINA.
