Christian, Thanks for the fast response.
ICLA - I need to get my boss (CIO) and the University Attorney to approve. I don't see problems other than getting the Attorney's time. She is very busy. I can work on the code locally in the meantime. 1) coding sytle - yes can follow what you have established 2) license - yes apache 2 which is my preferred license anyway 3) git - pretty new to it as well but have maybe 10 local projects in git at work and am starting to understand it. As long as everyone can be patient with me on that front. 4) php unit test cases - sure no problem 5) documentation no problem 6) ASF - I am very familiar with ASF - I use lucense, httpd, many java libraries and am getting ready to use apache camel and activemq I will work on the sqs appender first as that is my immediate need anyway. I will make sure it works with AWS SFK 1.5x and 2.0X (which are very different). Once the code is accepted in released then I can prompt it with AWS forums and with our amazon representative. I suspect that doing the SNS (Simple Notification Services - like email and text messages but AWS encapsulated) will be very easy and Simple DB will follow after that. I will post back here when I get ICLA approval. Thanks again for the details and fast response.

Hello Eric, I would love to see such cool appenders in log4php. In log4php we usually accept donations like that when we have your ICLA on file (smaller patches are accepted without). Its here: http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt Basically the ICLA tells us we can really take your code, because you are allowed to give it to us. I am not a lawyer of course, but if you have questions around it I will try to answer. Please don't be afraid before it. Once we have it, it is the easy way to get an contribution in when it is already having the Apache License 2.0. If it is GPL code we cannot accept it unfortunately until you have relicensed it. If it is something else we would need to dig a little deeper. Really the easiest way is: AL 2.0. Again, if I can help you with that, just shout. Then finally we'll gladly look at your code and hopefully accept it! :-) Usually we hope that contributors send phpunit tests along and document the code a little bit. In best case the contributor is sticking with the project, helping to maintain a little bit (and hopefully become a full-fledged committer one day). It would be good if you could use the coding style we have used for the rest of log4php. log4php uses GIT meanwhile (not only the mirror) so you should somehow be able to fork it to github, do modifications and send back a patch to us. We are all pretty new with GIT and this will be a good chance to check out how it all would work. Here is link on "how the asf works": http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html That said: thank you for using log4php and for working on appenders. I am really looking forward to them.
