Hello all, Following up on a discussion on github [1], it seems reasonable to split the logback-extensions project into two separate umbrella projects with CLAs on file serving as the only separation criteria. The split does not have any relation to code quality or community health. The list of contributors with CLA on file can be found at [2]. Looking at the logback-extensions umbrella project, it appears that the following projects have been contributed by developers with CLAs on file eclipse/ (Tony Trinh) jackson/ (Les Hazlewood) json/ (Les Hazlewood, Pierre Quinnec) mongodb/ (Christian Trutz, Tomasz Nurkiewicz) as such, I propose that they remain in logback-extensions and be released under the ch.qos.logback.extensions groupID in Maven Central. If any contributor feels that the second umbrella project (see below) would be a better home, he/they is/are welcome to move to the second umbrella project and without prejudice. The following project contains contributions from developers without CLAs non file loggly/ (Les Hazlewood, Marten Gustafson) spring/ (Les Hazlewood, Bryan Turner, Juergen Hoeller) Marten Gustafson, Bryan Turner and Juergen Hoeller do not have CLAs on file. I propose that these projects be moved to a new umbrella project named logback-stuff/logback-etcetera/logback-sundries. We still have to determine the name. This project will be released under a groupId outside the "ch.qos" namespace. Given that this split bears no relation to code quality or community health, contributions should pick the umbrella project that pleases them most. Before going forward with the split, we must first pick a name for the second umbrella project. Here are the names I find suitable: logback-stuff, logback-etcetera and logback-sundries. Are there other suggestions for names? Cheers, [1] http://tinyurl.com/ckue3cu [2] http://tinyurl.com/signedCLAs -- Ceki http://tinyurl.com/proLogback
