Hey Gary, I'd appreciate your response on this `dev@` thread. I am cleaning up all repositories and trying to either (in order of preference)
1. delete them (since they are practically empty or irrelevant) 2. archive them (clearly communicate it to the users that nobody is working on these projects, they are not maintained, etc. the repository is there only for archival purposes. note the archival is a reversible operation.) 3. modernize them (make `./mvnw clean verify` work flawlessly on multiple platforms, erect the CI, updated dependencies, setup `dependabot`, clean up `pom.xml`s, docs, `README.adoc`, etc.) >From this point of view, we (Ralph, Piotr, and me) are in favor of archiving `logging-log4j-server` and moving the `log4j-server` module to `logging-log4j-samples`, which is completely modernized. Is that okay with you? On Thu, Sep 14, 2023 at 8:25 PM Volkan Yazıcı <vol...@yazi.ci> wrote: > Gary, you haven't replied to this question of mine yet.
