 Hmm.. okay. it isn't a large framework. but, okay.

jakarta commons does bricks not frameworks

which is an adaptive bridge brick and not technically a framework)

 I was specifically referring to the Commons. Well, okay! :)

it was the language that fooled me :)

sub-projects are jakarta mini-me's with separate communities, mailing

components are the bricks the community happens to be working on.

but martin's right that we try to push data access related proposals
towards the db project.
