I had to explain that Commons-SSL just sits on top of the JSSE and JCE
to try and make working with SSL and Java easier. Your point about
the name is a good one.
The counterpoint to name argument. Just single example, I'm sure there are many
more: commons-logging sits on top of log4j/java logger/logkit/... and tries to
make working with all them seamless.
commons-ssl may be not the best name but it isn't terribly bad either.

The working title "Commons-SSL" does not really reflect this. Do you
plan to implement the SSL protocol as part of the project? Probably
not, so the title is misleading. An all-encompassing name might also
be offensive to people working on other SSL-related projects. I think
you should spend the time and define not only a motto, but a very clear
scope of the project. Both in terms of what's in scope as well as what's
out of scope. From there on, we can work on finding a name and home.
Please do not underestimate the importance of this step. Finding a
name may seem like a minor detail, but the problem of defining the
scope is very real. Only a few months ago, there was a long discussion
on this list about a proposal for "testing.apache.org". I haven't read
anything about it anymore after the supporters realized that a scope of
"everything that has to do with testing" was overly broad. We don't
want to see that happen to your proposal.
