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?

I'm not sure if this has come up, but thought I'd ask. Should JCS be
going over to turbine.apache.org at some point? Is there a high
overlap with that community and is Turbine the major user of it?
