Hi,
I like very much the new energy people are putting into creating the
SystemLogger engine for Pharo. I think this is a specifically
important area for which we have to have a solution out of the box. At
the same time, I also think that Pharo provides an infrastructure that
makes room for ideas that are otherwise hard to reach in other
languages or environments.
Why Java does not have announcements?
Stef asked for collaborations around this project, so here is my
literally small contribution: a rather different logging engine.
I do not see how this contribute to SystemLogger. So at least please do
not say it, respect the amount of time I spent
design it and working with Norbert.
It is called Beacon, it is based entirely on Announcements, it has
~200 lines of code, it has no tags or levels, and in my opinion it is
fully functional.
You can see a detailed description here including some informal
comparisons with SystemLogger:

Please let me know what you think. I would be happy to join forces to
reach a mature solution that is both versatile and that can show how
Pharo is different.
So should we see it as a competitor to SystemLogger?
(you will say of course not) but I do not understand.
Cheers,
Doru
