[slf4j-dev] svn commit: r1318 - slf4j/trunk/slf4j-site/src/site/pages

[Ceki Gulcu]

As in revision 1325, the mention of logback is quiet discreet. I will not bend 
backwards and avoid mentioning logback just to prove that SLF4J provides a 
neutral playing field. I do not wish to start a debate about morality.

BTW, have you actually looked at 1325?
