Thanks for the quick reply.  So it's a caching implementation.  My first
thought is that it might have the wrong name.  If I were to build a
common interface for all caching implementations today, I think I might
want to name it commons-caching, since it goes along well with the idea
of commons-logging.  

Secondly it seems like if this is not actively being developed, it may
not ever make it out of the sandbox, especially with the JCS cache impl
already existing in the jakarta project.  Does jakarta really need two
caching implementations?

What I am getting at is I think I am interested in starting a project
around the idea of a thin wrapper around other caching implementations.
I think the name commons-caching would be great for this since it's
pretty self-explanatory.  I am also interested in starting yet another
project called commons-caching-administration which would be a generic
caching admin tool wrapped around commons-caching.  

Any thoughts?

No, that's right, it's YACI, although I believe it pre-dates some of
those 
you mention.

No, it's not, although the existing code is functional.
