Ok. I read it that one of the duties of the PMC membership was to
propose new projects. My approach was to badger and lobby Jon and Craig
(two PMC members that I have interacted with on other issues).

Cool.
I am usually of the 'start small and iterate' mindset, so I would think
a really good connection pool would be an *excellent* start. Choose
another tool as well so that the notion of the project as a multi-tool
kit can be established from the beginning (ex. documentation and a
multi-jar distribution), but keep the deliverables list small, to what
people are making noise about.

Connection pool, connection pool, connection pool.
