Hi, what is the purpose of log4j-server actually? I don't find any information about it.
I wonder, if this has a real use case (Gary uses it) but no releases, should we create a Sandbox/Lab? Personally, if this just for example purposes, we maybe should actually move it -samples as suggested below. This thread is 8 days old, probably it is safe to move this repo now - we can always -1 a commit if there is still an objection Kind regards, Christian On Mon, Sep 18, 2023, at 10:09, Volkan Yazıcı wrote: > Hey Gary, > > I'd appreciate your response on this `dev@` thread.
