Everyone agrees that there are advantages of having a single place for coordinating various logging related efforts, the terms "economies of scale" and "cross-pollination" come to mind.
Furthermore, I would like to adopt inter operability as the main goal of the Apache Logging project. Inter operability means that one can log in one language and have the logging event be output in an appender written in another language. It can also mean that one can persist logging events in one language and read (or visualize) those events with a tool written in another language. All three projects (log4j, log4net, log4perl) follow similar patterns. Just as importantly, they are all open source projects. We could of course invite other projects to join in but 3 seems more manageable at the beginning. Here are two questions that we must answer before continuing: 1) Is inter operability a realistic goal? Is it possible at all? 2) Is everyone comfortable with assigning copyright to the Apache Software foundation? -- Ceki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
