Looking at this seems to hint, that log4net is not really under development anymore. Is that true? Why so? I'd think there actually is room for improvements/new features. Things like .NET 4.0, fluent configuration or WCF come into mind. What's the story here?
A:
It might be that there are several superior frameworks available. But I am just speculating.

Nope, that is not the case. AFAIK, the only serious free alternative is the logging block of the enterprise library.

bitbonk, Are you aware of NLog? AFAIK it has very similar capabilities to log4net. The developer (is there only one?) is apparently currently making a big development push for NLog2.0. The document on the website, http://nlog-project.org/, is not that great because he is converting to wiki and not all documentation has been migrated. You can, however, find better (albeit older) documentation here: http://nlog-project.org/help/

Well, it's an open-source project being developed as part of the Apache Logging Services. Jump in there and finish version 1.2.11. ;)
Looks like their last commit was in late 2009...
Also looks like Ron Grabowski could answer this question... :)

Strange, it seems that there are only 15 of 49 issues left needed for the 1.2.11 release...
