The author of Pantheios (http://pantheios.sourceforge.net) seems to think he really does know what it is, and has found the "sweet spot."

Thanks David for your advice. So here is some stuff I read from the documentation (.chm):
<snip>
I am not an expert in design and in no position in rejecting any library or whatever, and I have actually not even look into the code but IMO, just as reading few pages of the doc, I think pantheios is not what we are looking for. I would love to be wrong and that someone says, "pantheios is what we were looking for all those years, let put it into boost". I doubt it...
Please, someone more experienced have a quick look and tell me I'm wrong.
Thanks.

I wouldn't say I am more experienced but I will say that I also looked at pantheios when it was first suggested. It seems to be unnecessarily complex and introduces yet another library which I do not want or need. I believe you will have an extremely hard time making a logging library that pleases everyone. You can please some of the people some of the time but you cant please all of the people all of the time. I hope we can come up with something that will be acceptable to enough people to make it into boost soon. RVD
