Thanks Ceki for your long and detailled answer. You are right, i missed a word out in my mail - I meant "if we would take logback as base for new development", as you suggested in a previous mail (so i understood it).
I had not openly excluded the possibility but have not suggested it either.
However. if you are not willing to contribute logback with a software grant, then of course the "use logback" discussion can stop now. I understood that you were thinking about donating but have changed your mind. To be honest, even when I think that logback is very well and it would do fine as Log4J 2, there might be other discussions which could lead to frustrations on several sides. I think on discussions like having author tags and such.
Author tags is a way of recognizing contributors. Recognition is a very important aspect of oss.
Having in mind that there is some heat in all the discussion on this list, I also think this isn't the right time for contributing logback.
Indeed.
However - we (all who are interested in continuing log4j) need to discuss other options. Using SLF4J as native interface or not might be the next discussion. Looking at the current code we currently have is the next one.
Sounds good.
Cheers Christian
