In spite of the fact that Log4j 2 has a very compelling story in terms of feature set and performance, I get the impression that adoption is quite slow. I could be wrong, but how many open source projects use Log4j 2? Or even how many Apache projects?
I propose we try to generate some ideas about what we can do to increase our uptake. Some things I've been thinking about: * Rewrite the Wikipedia page on Log4j <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log4j>. It's mostly about Log4j 1.2 and mentions Log4j 2 at the bottom in a footnote. That needs to be the other way around in my opinion. The Wikipedia Java logging framework <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_logging_framework> page is even worse. * The Apache Logging site <https://logging.apache.org/> has no explicit mention that Log4j 1 is EOL. * Only the top page on the Log4j 1 site <https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/> mentions that the project is EOL, but it does so in two modest sentences that don't visually stick out and are easily ignored. At the very least the download page needs a mention of the EOL and a link to the Log4j 2 project, but it may be good to have a notification on every page. * Can we get other people involved in evangelizing log4j 2? It would be great if we can make more people enthusiastic so they write blog posts or tutorials etc about Log4j 2. * How can we incentivise people to convert their project to Log4j 2? Maybe start a page on Projects Using Log4j 2 and mention people who did the conversion by name? Or some other way? Thoughts? Remko
