That should be very helpful in getting people up to speed with 1.3. Thanks!

Well, actually, Log4j uses itself for logging (well, UGLI, but Log4j implements UGLI). As such, if you want to turn off logging for Log4j, then do it in your config file....
<logger name="org.apache.log4j">
<level value="OFF"/>
</logger>Note that LogLog is currently being used to output some extra stuff temporarily (at least it was the last source I built). This will be removed before 1.3 final, so any stuff that isn't getting turned off by the above config in the 1.3 alpha/beta releases, will certainly be turned off in 1.3 final.

It's arguable. Doing it using the <logger> is natural,. but since Log4j logging is a special case, an "internal" attribute (or some such name) might be good to have as an alias to <logger name="org.apache.log4j">.
