Hi Trustin, I don't like this idea. It basically means that we are going to build are own logging-lib facade, a job that SLF4J does very well.
And IMHO it won't simplify things, we'll have to explain people how our mechanism for choosing a logging-librarry works. Maybe a well-written FAQ entry about MINA and SLF4J would help out a lot ? I agree that SLF4J is a great logging facade. It takes 10 minutes to read the documentation, and I think anyone serious about server-side java should take the time to check it out. I am also convinced that SLF4J is going to get more momentum in the future. See the list of projects at the bottom of http://www.slf4j.org/index.html just my 2 cents.
