I still see the old report at
http://people.apache.org/~carnold/compatibility.html.
Let me know when you've had a chance to update it.
Should be there now. Don't know what happened earlier.
Maybe we should start a wiki page on the specifics of the report so
everyone can dig in to address various parts.

I don't think Wiki is the right tool.
To subdivide the effort, we could write up 6-8 or so bug reports of
specific areas of incompatibility like bug 37965 (http://
issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37965) which covered the
SyslogAppender incompatibilities and make them blockers of the
overall incompatibility bug 35452. People could comment on the
specific compatibility issues and assign specific areas to themselves
if not already taken. Small little issues like a missing class here
or there, could just be committed against the overall bug.
I do think the right approach is to first write test cases for the
1.2 branch that would fail on 1.3 and then port the test over to 1.3
and fix the 1.3 code. If we just "fix" the 1.3 code without tests,
it is likely that we'd restore the method signature but not the
expected behavior.
I've started looking at the Layout changes which appear to break any
user supplied layout. I may be able to get that one complete before
a quick 3-day roadtrip for the holidays. Have thought about
approaches for the Level switch, but didn't want to start it until
there was time to finish.
