Agreed and on its way.

I am quite familiar with Maven, used it a lot for Scala and OSGi before I
became an SBT [1] fanboy. Getting slf4s in won't be a big deal. Most
important question: How should we name the artifact? slf4j-scala-api?
slf4j-scala? slf4s-api? slf4s? And how should we name the package? As SLF4S
also has got a Logger trait (interface) we need a package different from
org.slf4j. I think that org.slf4s is the best choice for the package and
therefore the artifact should be slf4s-api. What do you think?

One more thing: I did a lot of OSGi work and I prefer to have the manifest
files generated by the great BND tool [2]. There is also the Felix Bundle
Plugin which brings BND to Maven. I would like to continue to use it and
later convince you to also use it for the rest of SLF4J, because the
manifests will just be better (e.g. version policies lead to high quality
version ranges, uses directive will be calculated, etc.). Any objections
against the first step (using it for SLF4S)? By the way: I really like the
fact that SLF4J is OSGi compliant! Good job!
