Logging site
I should have added that I'd appreciate you adding log4net to the site. I'd really like to have all the sub projects added as once they are all there then we can simply ask Infra to replace the existing site with the new one. I've been waiting for that to do the first Log4j 2 release.

Nice option. Probably we should do that for log4cxx

The site building process in log4net is too brittle anyway, it involves
creating API docs which I currently don't manage to do at all. Fixing
that is so far down on my TODO list that it would have delayed the log4j
release for an unaceptable time.

Yes, that is an option. However, I think it is important that we all get a feel for how this works. That said, I almost did that for Log4j 1.2 if I hadn't been able to run mvn site on the last release tag an upload that. Since each release will exist as its own directory in the new site (hopefully deleting old releases after some time) it should be fairly simple to use whatever you want to generate the site.

Done.
The log4net site now appears on loggingtest, but there are some issues.
One is that http://logging.apache.org/log4net/ would no longer be the
canonical entry point. I plan to add a .htaccess to send people to the
1.x directory from there. Too many existing links to leave it the way
it is.
In a similar way I'll have to go through the log4net site looking for
links to other parts of logging, in particular log4j but also chainsaw,
and adapt them.

Understood, and yes, I'll do that. It's only a matter of solving a few
problems and finding the time to do so. Can't promise I'll be able to
get around to it before the weekend.

OK, if this is holding up the release then I'll simply tar up the
existing site and add it to svn - I can figure out a better way to do it
later.
