I was part of Jakarta back then - yes I am that old :-) Even before log4j joined Jakarta it was pretty well known (under an IBM banner IIRC, but Ceki has been the driving force of it). Joining Jakarta was some kind of stealth operation - at least I don't recall noticing it (I was not on the PMC back then) until it was mentioned in a sidenote of some PMC meeting minutes. http://web.archive.org/web/20001017131442/http://www.log4j.org/history.shtml might be useful, the history page of log4j.org from 2000.
