Nick, You ask and discuss on the dev list. The number of developers isn’t that large so it should be readily apparent if there is interest. That said, Log4j 1.x was pretty dormant when I started working on Log4j 2. I worked for almost 18 months before I committed anything just because I wasn’t really sure about anything. After I had something to talk about I committed it to an experimental branch where others could start contributing their ideas. I think that has worked out pretty well.
Since you don’t currently have commit rights you might either start something on github or it may be possible to create a new git repo for log4net 2 and give you access to that. That would be a bit unusual but not unheard of. Ralph > On Sep 18, 2015, at 12:12 PM, Nicholas Duane <nic...@msn.com> wrote: > > I'll take a look at the link.
