Hi all,
The last official release of log4php was made over 4 years ago [1]. A
PHP 5 version has been started [2], but no one are working on it at the
moment. Earlier this year it was also voted on [3] terminating the
log4php incubation. It's sad to see log4php fail here, because this tool
is really needed out there, so therefor I'll volunteer to become
maintainer of log4php which means that I will focus on the following tasks:
* Complete the PHP 5 port of log4php with minimal BC breaks
* Improving log4php performance
* Adding more functionality
* Complete unit test suite using PHPUnit 3
* Overhaul the home page [4] and improve the online documentation [5]
My main motivation here is that I've used log4php in several enterprise
level web applications where it has paid off, and still want to do that,
but the PHP 5 version need some work and an official release. I also did
a study of log4php's inner workings when I wrote an article about it for
php|architect [6] back in 2005 so I know the code base pretty well already.
I'm not sure about any decisions that has been made about log4php at
Apache, but I'm here, willing to take over the maintainer role. Please
cast your votes.
Best regards,
Knut Urdalen
