Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1811:
-------------------------------------

I agree our documentation is very good and certainly thorough. On the other 
hand, I have seen comments on StackOverflow indicating that for some users the 
sheer volume of documentation is a bit intimidating and makes it potentially 
harder to find what they are looking for. 

What I have in mind for this ticket is to make small "nudges", changes that 
make Log4j 2 more intuitive to use and configure. Hopefully that makes 
documentation less necessary.

> The vast majority of StackOverflow Log4j 2 questions is related to 
> configuration. The Log4j 2 site offers an extensive manual but apparently 
> many questions remain.
> This ticket aims to make Log4j 2 easier to configure and use. This can take 
> many forms: 
> * adding documentation
> * making documentation easier to find
> * detecting and addressing inconsistencies
> * facilitating debugging
> * showing richer error messages that help users diagnose problems
> * ... etc
> I am making this an epic so the effort can span multiple releases and include 
> many big or small changes.
