[logback-dev] logback async appender

[Gordon Sims]

We recently switched several applications from log4j to logback and were
wondering about the lack of async appender in logback.  Is it not
needed?  I thought it was a good thing for performance and reliability 
reasons.

I see there is an old enhancement request for it in logback bugzilla,

http://bugzilla.qos.ch/show_bug.cgi?id=55

It seems that someone attempted this earlier this year (but maybe hasn't
checked in yet?)

If needed and desired, we could work on a patch for this feature. In
general, should it work similar to the log4j one?  Or is someone else
already working on it?

thanks,
