Hello Arnold, you are speaking out of my soul. It is not required to have "my" version of logging at Apache. I and Seth already contacted some of the authors (or tried) you are refered as links. My intention is first to have a API for logging, which is as most as possible the same than log4j. Having a Sandbox would be really great. I would then invite all the guys to have a look there. The idea is to focus all these ideas and energy to one project where you have not to think about which API should I use now.
When do you think, we could get such a sandbox? Currently it is very difficult to exchange the sources via mail.
