Re: Is Log4Net project abandoned?

[RC]

Hi Dominik,

I have in the past been much interested in log4net and, as you may 
remember, I hoped to integrate log4net.ext.json. (Un)fortunately, life 
goes on and I'm not in the .net realm anymore to be of any benefit 
here. Like you, I struggle to maintain the extension I wrote. If 
someone takes log4net, please take log4net.ext.json with it :D Thanks a 
lot for all the work!

Best regards, Robert

Streamlining the architectures across the different log4* 
implementations
has been discussed earlier. It would make sense to split log4net into
several libraries (api, configuration, several appender.xxx, etc). 
Further
make these assemblies all available over nuget. I could imagine this 
to
become part of a not yet existing 3.0 milestone if the community is 
willing
to contribute. I see also more important things to flesh out (getting 
a
release out of the door, reimplement the rolling file appender, 
replace
nant to improve builds and their automation, automate deployments to 
nuget,
..).

 SLF4J is an earlier alternative to log4j-api, but it's not a
 replacement. If the other log4* projects adopt similar architectures
 to log4j2, they can all have API/implementation separation and
 potentially compatible config files, though that's not really 
planned
 by anyone that I know of.
