I'll take a look at the link. So if I'm interested in helping, if in fact the goal is to port log4j2 to .net, then how do I know whether anyone who would make that decision is even thinking about that, if they are thinking about it how do I know if they've decided to move forward, and when that decision takes place? Do I just put my name on a "waiting list"?

They make decisions by discussing their ideas on the mailing list. In some ways, the ASF is a “do-ocracy”. You can make all the recommendations you want, but ultimately it is up to whoever implements it. Take a look at http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html.

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?

I'm curious why log4net is not more similar to log4j(2)? Is it because there is less development work being done on log4net and log4j had significant changes in the 2.0 version? I think I read somewhere that log4net was a port of log4j 1. This is certainly part of the reason. log4net was started as a port of 1.x a long time ago. The developers (long before I joined) added some deviations that look closer to what log4j 2 is doing (XML configuration). Incidently Dominik started a discussion about log4net 2.0 on the dev list[1] and some people expressed interest. Any hand that can offer some help is more than welcome, so please come over and join.
