this discussion has got me thinking that perhaps jcontainer
has been mis-scoped so far, more focused on dna/loom than
being a more generic container space.

perhaps it would be a good time to resurrect the idea that
Peter had put forward some time ago, ie to split out
the implementation projects (dna and loom) into their own
high-level codehaus projects (and possibly under the org.codehaus 
namespace), and focus jcontainer as an umbrella/discussion board
project that is more container neutral.

especially now that we've got confluence space it will be much
easier to contribute ideas/thoughts/comparisons/links and publish
updates on what's happening in the container world.

thoughts?
