Can NLog v2 be used with Common.Logging
I tried using these together today, and was getting a version mismatch, as it's looking for NLog v1.
Does Common.Logging support NLog v2 yet?
If not, does anyone know if an assembly version redirect can safely be used?

How do I switch from Log4Net to NLog in Quartz.Net?
My company's standard logging tool is NLog. I'm trying to introduce Quartz.net and was asked if it could use NLog instead of Log4Net.
I know I can recompile to use NLog, but I'd like to do it from the configuration files if at all possible.

Log levels: Would you consider DEBUG finer than TRACE?
My question originates from this question, where one of the comments suggests that a DEBUG log level is finer grained than TRACE. Looking at what TRACE and DEBUG means in .NET, this seems to make sense, since, by definition, DEBUG (as a concept) is…
