Gabriela: I’d say a better way to think about this exercise is as a debugging system, not a logging system. As Jan suggested, a logging system is a appropriate for a server-side app, but I don’t see this code being useful for anyone other than developers. Where I’d envisage using it myself is if I’m having trouble figuring out why a conversion is failing, and I want to look at what is happening in the code. I want to see any warnings that come up (an example would be “cannot find bookmark with id foo in bookmarks.xml”) and that would help indicate what is causing problems with a conversion. For this reason, I also don’t see a need to include the hostname or username in the log. Timing information can still be useful though, for identifying performance problems (e.g. answering why did it take 300ms to free this object?). — Dr Peter M.
