RE: Is this project still alive

This is a reply to a query addressed to me personally, but I'm replying to the 
user mailing list so that anybody else who wants to pitch in can help.

I think I'm going to have to grit out the APR conversion solo.  It is just a 
little too hard to distribute and nobody stepped up before it got underway.  
I've already committed the date related changes, have the thread related 
changes in progress on my machine and will start the Unicode changes after 
committing the thread changes.

If you have platform that you are particularly interested in, you could attempt 
to compile APR (http://apr.apache.org) and report any issues to the apr-dev 
mailing list or on Bugzilla (I'll monitor these also, but am not and don't 
desire to be an APR committer).  I suspect that I will create an Ant build for 
APR at least to support Borland C++. 

It would be great if someone could compare the test suite with the log4j test 
suite.  The log4cxx tests I have looked at have been fairly straigtforward 
ports of the log4j tests, but I have no idea if 10% or 90% of the log4j tests 
have been ported.

Is there anything that we can help with?  I can't dedicate full time resources, but a lot of the time, I have developers who aren't fully utilized.  Though we're getting packed lately, maybe we can help with something?

Michael has notified the Logging Project Management Committee and the log4cxx committers that he does not expect to be involved in the project again until November 2005.  Though we will miss Michael his absence does not indicate that the project is dead.  log4cxx is still being actively (maybe too actively) developed, the mailing lists are active and there seems to be a fairly healthy community developing.  Please address any requests or comments to one of the mailing lists and they should get replied to in fairly short order.

Sorry things are a little ragged right now as I'm trying to switch log4cxx to APR at the same time I've been on the road (for ApacheCON).  At the moment, I believe that only the Ant build will compile, I haven't been keeping the GNU make or Visual Studio build definitions in synch.  While the APR conversion is in process, things  will be fragile, but I'm convinced that it will be a very good thing (and we can forever forget about bug reports on in-line Solaris assembler code).

Borland C++ compilation is on my to-do list before 0.9.8, but I can't offer any help at the moment.
