[slf4j-user] How to write good log message?

[Ceki Gulcu]

Writing good log messages is a bit like writing good code. You may encouter wild 
variations in quality as well as style.

Anyway, my suggestion would be to go over the logs which each developer and show 
them better ways of coming up with informative log messages, on a case by case 
basis. With some experience, you might actually have enough data points to write
a useful guideline document.
