Re: turbine.apache.org?

The community is actually more closely aligned with db torque, but jcs 
is pretty much a stand alone caching system that happens to used by 
among other things torque and turbine.  I see jcs as being more like a 
commons component than as an offering coupled more or less arbitrarily 
with torque or turbine.  My motivation for pushing for a jcs release is 
so that torque can use a better version than the ancient snapshot it 
currently defines - if this can be done in advance of the impending 
torque release then great, especially if this can all happen in advance 
of the impending turbine release.

What you are really hinting at is that jakarta needs to find a home for 
all of it's current sub-projects and that jcs is one of the these that 
does not really have strong ties, community or otherwise, to any of the 
projects currently spawning out of jakarta.

So as I see it there are really four options:

   1. Approach db torque as a possible new home.  In my opinion this is
      less than ideal since the association is relatively arbitrary and
      it would in effect be asking to become a sub-sub-project again (as
      it was when it previously lived under turbine).
   2. Approach the new turbine TLP as a possible new home.  Again, I
      think this is a relatively arbitrary association.
   3. Propose to become a TLP.  This isn't really an option I think -
      jcs doesn't have the community to support it.
   4. Approach commons about jcs becoming a releasable component.  To me
      this seems like it might be the best way to go as it would not
      bury jcs under an arbitrarily unrelated project, but rather it
      would include it in a collection of useful components where it
      could gain better exposure than it currently does.

So what do the others involved in jcs think?  If we assume that jakarta 
is not going to be around in its current form, where do you think the 
most suitable location for jcs would be?
