everyone—

The OCaml Network Application Environment is a project to provide a 
modular framework of libraries in Objective Caml to support the 
development of concurrent, single-thread-reactive network application 
servers with a functional programming style.

	The project page on SourceForge is here 
<URL:http://sf.net/projects/ocnae/>.

Its centerpiece will be a general-purpose implementation of the Blocks 
Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP) Core, and other application 
protocols may follow.  It is a work in progress, and most of the code 
is not yet ready for production use, but a preview release is on the 
near horizon.  (NOTE: This is *not* a solicitation for assistance.)

Previously on the Caml List, I have made announcements about a personal 
project I called "Pagoda".  I have also mentioned that my earlier Iox 
project has been abandoned and that I am working on a new project with 
the same purpose in mind.  The OCaml NAE is that project; it has been 
renamed to be more descriptive, and to resolve a conflict with another 
project on the SourceForge.Net project hosting service.

The only package currently released in this project is the Core 
Foundation (Cf) library, which is identical to the currently released 
Cf library that is listed under my name on the Caml Humps.  I would be 
grateful if the Humps could be updated to reflect the migration of this 
library into the SourceForge File Release System.  I would also be 
grateful if the Projects page at the Beepcore web site could be amended 
to list this project as Type: Peer.

Additionally, I have just uploaded a raft of source code into the CVS 
repository for the OCaml NAE project.  All of this new code, including 
the current snapshot of the BEEP core implementation, has not been 
published until now and it remains almost entirely undocumented.  I 
mention it because developers of network application servers interested 
in my progress may wish to monitor this SourceForge project.

I plan to make another announcement soon to the Caml list and the BEEP 
Builders list when the preview release is available.
