Now that the incubator vote has passed we can formally begin the process of moving the project back to Logging Services. Frankly, there isn’t much to do. This list is going to be merged into d...@logging.apache.org <mailto:d...@logging.apache.org> along with all the other sub-projects while the users list remains dedicated to log4cxx. The web site is already under logging.apache.org <http://logging.apache.org/>.
As far as I can see the only thing that needs to be done is to move the source code. It is up to this community to decide whether to stay with svn or move to git. My personal experience is that you will get more contributions if you move to git. People seem to really like being able to fork the project on GitHub and send in pull requests. At least, that is my experience with Log4j. Thoughts? Ralph > On Mar 2, 2017, at 5:41 AM, Thorsten Schöning <tschoen...@am-soft.de> wrote: > > Guten Tag Roland Uuesoo, > am Donnerstag, 2.
