Hi Christian, Thanks for you work on log4cxx. What I mean is its better go towards Incubator, than Attic. Because, I still believe log4cxx is the primary logging framework for C++ related projects. The concern is, even though the number of C++ based [new]projects are less, still it is a good choice to move with.
If we move this to Attic[Apache project has reached its end of life], even a new user will be hesitate to use this incredible tool. But still in Incubation, there is a possibility to increase the number of dev/user support, since newbies are looking Incubation projects than Attic projects. Personally, I use log4cxx for several C++ projects really confidence with it, and willing to use it in upcoming projects as well. So, I'll be there, in my best to support/develop/enhance log4cxx. I can support log4cxx with been as an Incubation mentor. regards, *Chand Priyankara* [image: Facebook]<http://www.facebook.com/chand.priyankara> [image: LinkedIn] <http://lk.linkedin.com/in/chandpriyankara> [image: Blogger] <http://chandpriyankara.blogspot.com/> [image: Google Plus]<http://plus.google.com/104246340732624023499> |BSc(Eng) - Electrical & Information |(094) 773-361-566 |[email protected] |http://chandpriyankara.blogspot.com <http://www.iucnredlist.org/amazing-species>sent via internet On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 1:51 PM, Christian Grobmeier <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello log4cxx users/devs, > > I wrote an E-Mail in february to consider log4cxx for the attic. > > The attic means the code is accessible, but no Apache committer is > actively maintaining it or releasing code. > > In february a couple of people shown their interest in the project.
