[Review] Boost.Logging review result
Hi all, today I got the following message from John Torjo: <quote> Due to the feedback I got, I would like you to declare the library as rejected. In the light of what Gennady and others have said, indeed, another interface would be best suited for the Boost Log library. With what I know now, I would like to redesign the library from ground up, and ask for another review, probably 6 months from now or so. </quote> In the light of this announcement the review of the proposed Boost.Logging library submitted by John is closed. The library is not included into Boost. I very much hope John will find the time and energy to redesign and resubmit the library in the future. Regards Hartmut Review Manager
I want to thank John for all his hard work in getting us to this point and hope he will be encouraged by the discussion his submission has raised. I really believe that there is a lot about this library that has merit and hope he has the strength and patience to continue with a new iteration of the library as it really is an important library for robust software development. Thanks, too, to Hartmut for coordinating the review. Paul Baxter

Yes, a lot of good ideas to take into account, while redesigning the lib.

Thanks, I'll definitely redesign it -- logging has always been one of my favorite topics. The only problem is of course, time.

I would like to thank John Torjo for the great effort. I believe, even the current library design and implementation is good and can be used efficiently in real projects. I understand how hard is to develop general-purpose library that answer the needs of different people, especially in case of such demanded library as logging. I want to encourage John to continue library development and I'm looking forward to the moment the library will finally accepted to the boost. -- Best regards, Zigmar On 11/16/05, Hartmut Kaiser <hartmut.kaiser@gmail.com> wrote:
