Re: log4cxx - reaching out for interested developers
Hi all,
Any further suggestions in going forward other than Incubator or Attic?
or else, can we get in to a conclusion, please.

Hi.
Just wanted to note that there already are a couple of forks on github...
https://github.com/apache/log4cxx
Github is probably the easiest way to share the changes.

I have somehow missed this.
We will see about rebasing our internal fork onto that.
Is there a process for patch reviewing and/or pull requests already in
place?

Hi All,
Pretty good discussions, thanks to every body.
Git seems a good track, and I'm in.
Since *Christian* is here, I hope we can continue with:
https://github.com/apache/log4cxx
:)

If someone could instruct me on this process, I could submit a
contribution agreement ASAP, and then keep this in mind while managing
the fork. I suspect a small community would not give me much trouble in
this regard.

With regards to a Github-based fork, one important thing from the
discussion at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-general/201305.mbox/browser
was that ICLAs should be in place before pull requests can be
accepted. Otherwise, incorporating any changes into an Apache-blessed
tree at a later date becomes difficult.

We were planning on a fork for our own purposes; this seems a good
opportunity for us to participate.
I will make a fork from trunk on GitHub today. Anyone wants in, we can
deal with the patches, tarball releases and things like that.

Hello Chand,
i asked the other logging members over at general@.
One suggestion was to enable a git mirror for log4cxx and make it easier
for others to contribute.
Ralph (from log4j 2 mainly) mentioned he could look at the patches, because
he has the skills which i lack.
On the other hand, I might be able to release.
Then the community could contribute / fork via GitHub too, which lightens
the burden.
So far not confirmed, but this is another option.
Cheers

sorry for the late response. Lately, I didn't check the log4cxx new very
frequently, but this might change quickly. :-)
We are using this great library in all our C++ projects and it would be
nice to see it being maintained again, and as my time allows, I am willing
to help with documentation, help on this list, and maybe even some patches.
Moving log4cxx to the Incubator sounds great. :-)

Hello Chand,
i asked the other logging members over at general@.
One suggestion was to enable a git mirror for log4cxx and make it easier
for others to contribute.
Ralph (from log4j 2 mainly) mentioned he could look at the patches, because
he has the skills which i lack.
On the other hand, I might be able to release.
Then the community could contribute / fork via GitHub too, which lightens
the burden.
So far not confirmed, but this is another option.
Cheers
