Hi All, I think this is fair as long as the document is of high quality and includes lots of code examples (something that is sorely lacking now).

Needless to say, the log4j API (the software) will always be licensed under the Apache Software license and would include some basic documentation. However, writing good documentation is very time consuming and I'd like to see if I can get paid to do it. This documentation will be based on the long log4j manual which was until recently part of log4j 1.2 alpha3, alpha4 and alpha5. However, the latest alpha6 does not include it. This document carried a clearly visible copyright notice. It was always copyrighted by me and not the ASF. Do you think this is an honorable approach? Your comments on the subject are welcome. Thank you. -- Ceki Gülcü - http://qos.ch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
