The "two-page" qualifier convinced me to follow the recommendation and go to [the user manual|https://www.slf4j.org/manual.html]. But halfway through reading it, I realized it was much longer than I had expected. In my browser, on a monitor much bigger than average with the viewport occupying 2560x1674 pixels, at default zoom, the user manual's content is more than 7-page-long. While there may exist a screen which fits that manual in less than 3 pages, I assume the addition of content like _Salient historical changes_ and - more importantly - the _Fluent Logging API_ section has made the paragraph outdated, to the point of being misleading at this point. The user manual remains definitely useful and suggesting it remains a good idea, but the paragraph should be improved. I suggest: # to drop the "two-page" qualifier or replace it with something vaguer like "concise" # to clarify what is meant by "Before you start using SLF4J". Perhaps replace with "Before you adopt SLF4J" # perhaps just "recommend" reading rather than "highly recommend" it ============================== This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v9.6.0#960000-sha1:a3ee8af)
