Since I have encountered a few people people before who have asked questions along the lines of "why do we need good logging? and what is logging?" I figured it would be good to make a general overview guide that is not specific to log4j/log4cxx/log4net, but may still touch on concepts of these libraries that make them good.
Some of the terminology here could probably be better standardized, so any suggestions are welcome! I may turn this into a presentation to break it up as well, I haven't decided yet. Github PR: https://github.com/apache/logging-site/pull/1 -Robert Middleton
