I dont understand the need for the "Proposed Boost logging library". A perfectly good and flexible logging library exists in the form of log4cxx, which is much more flexible than the proposal, has a ton of tools, appenders, is compatible with log4j/log4net etc etc (for those of us who live in multiple worlds). log4cxx is going through a almost complete rewrite, but is still eminently usable. see http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/ cheers,

Hi Matthias,
on http://www.torjo.com/ is a "Boost logging library" available for download, but it doesn't exist on the official boost website.
Will this library be in a future release of boost, or has someone just abused the well-known name for pushing his work?
A logging library would be a very nice thing to have in boost, but before I use this one, I want to make sure it will be available publicly in the official boost packages.
This library was not reviewed, and I'm not sure if the review was requested. So, it's "Proposed Boost logging library", and is not an official part of Boost.

In fact, John Torjo has requested a formal review at boost.devel just today, see his post at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/122414
