Except that Avalon doesn't appear to be a 'catalog' of separate,
independant components that are individually documented, buildable,
etc... That's what I have in mind for (2), which I am +1 on. I am also
+0 on (1) [as time is precious these days, and I want to get a *great*
DBCP developed and componentized - there is movement afoot in
Turbine-land for a JDBC compliant component, and Struts is pretty much
there...], +0 on (3) [same reason - no time - but a good idea], and I
don't know what (4) is...
Can we change the name of this list to 'catalog-dev' ? :)

It might be easier to start with what Struts has is you are in the mood
for JDBC compliant interfaces, but there is lots of discussion going on
in Turbine-land about this. It's a great time to do this...
