Should this go in 2.7 or should I wait for 3.0?
IMO waiting for 3.0 (i.e. Monday for the release and the trunk branch) is best at this
stage since we should be from now on only fix bugs for the 2.x cycle.

Hi devs,
I'd like to propose removing the log to xwiki.log by default in our log4j.properties
file.
The rationale is:
* This is causing problems with a lot of users since by default we log in the current
directory and there are lots of cases when users start xwiki from a directory where you
don't have correct permissions
* We don't control where xwiki.log is created
Proposal:
* We only log to stdout:
** tomcat is already configured to capture stdout/stderr and to redirect them to
catalina.out
** I have a modification ready for Jetty to do the same, here it is in case you want to
see it:
<!-- =========================================================== -->
<!-- Redirect stdout & stderr to a log file -->

WDYT?
