On another note, I am working on a persistence engine that I would love
for apache to host, but at the moment I do not have the required 3
commiters. However if anyone would like to join the love, here is some of
the documentation I have been working on lately. It isn't complete and a
tad bit scattered, but the rationale is there as well as some of the
configuration stuff so anyone should be able to get a good idea of what is
going on.

In a nutshell, it is not just an O/R mapper, but a generic persistence
engine that can be used as an O/R mapping tool. It's current state of
development is that it is in one production application already, but I am
going through a bit of a refactor to the mapping stuff (it is amazing what
a real application will bring to light!), and working on more unit tests
as I progress in that area.
It currently uses several Commons projects such as JXPath, Jexl, BeanUtils, etc. some of which is documented on the site I listed. If anyone is interested let me know, otherwise I'll have to resort to sourceforge :-\
Speaking for myself only, I'm not sure db.apache.org is in a good position to incubate projects composed largely or exclusivly of non-apache folks right now. You might want to consider <http://incubator.apache.org/> or <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons> as a better starting point (perhaps eventually moving to a part of the db.apache project). You could also do worse than starting out at sourceforge and migrating to apache once you've got a stronger community.
Rodney is right - new projects coming into the ASF will come through the incubator, whether or not they are going to be part of another Apache project (like DB) or an Apache project by themselves (like DB :)
Go to incubator
