Now that Luis has updated to add Artanis to libraries, I think I don't
have to send the patch twice. ;-)
Anyway, I could explain it here. Ragnarok as a generic server is
obsolete now, it'll be replaced by Artanis as a monolithic framework
with a strong server core (this will happen in v0.2+).

Ragnarok is pthread based server in OOP way. After I've played FP for
years, I found I dislike OOP gradually. And I dislike pthread more.
Artanis has almost all the features in Ragnarok. Actually, the brand new
server-core in Artanis named after "Ragnarok". I think the meaning is
clear enough for folks. ;-)

Yes, it should be put to Libraries. And I suggest add a entry of
Libraries below Applications, since it's not so easy to find "libraries"
link.

Best regards.
