Any good docs on creating an appender?

We have a couple of appenders to create, is there a FAQ or something on
this, or do you suggest just going with the skeleton and using something
like syslog appender as a guide?

I would take an existing appender, the syslog appender might be a good
choice. Basically you have to implement the abstract function

virtual void append(const spi::LoggingEventPtr& event, 
log4cxx::helpers::Pool& p) = 0;

from AppenderSkeleton to implement your specific logging functionality.
