I looked over the thread you included below. I can't tell from that whether the suggestion was to port log4j2. Not sure if the comment about starting log4net 2.0 "from scratch" is an indication of having it be a port of log4j2.
In my mind the biggest benefit would be to have the same architecture/feature set running on both linux and windows. Of course it would also be great if the releases were synchronized. I know a big gripe of log4net is that it's not getting rev'd. I would be interested in helping if the goal is to bring log4net in sync with log4j2. And by this I guess I mean port as that would seem the easiest and safest path to the goal. I haven't worked on any open source project in the past. I'm curious, how does this work? Who's coordinating and making the decisions?
