Nothing can stop you from writing TheLogger - except other Turbine or Velocity commiters who may -1 it. If the Turbine/Velocity community believes it is indeed needed and benefical for them to create another logger - and this becomes a part of the release, then I think it doesn't matter too much if you release it as a component of Turbine or commons. And if you think other projects may be interested and use TheLogger, I think it is perfectly justified to have it in commons. It won't be called commons-logging ( you need another name ), and it won't replace commons-logging. But Velocity can continue to use whatever logger they choose.
