If netty were to remain just an API then linking to people that use the higher level API would be beneficial.<br><br>I don't really want to maintain the HTTP client I wrote for Peregrine but I didn't have any solution for HTTP PUT...<br>

Hi,<div><br></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">I too like the fact that Netty is just an API without too many dependencies.</font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">Maybe a solution is to list and link to the different apps/libraries that use Netty on the current web site or in a wiki somewhere?

<div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Is there such a page? If not, would it be beneficial to create one?</span></div>

concentrate on the "core" and does not push to much dependencies etc<br>
in.<br>
