I'd rather we don't have something specific to *log* subscribers. You're right though, there is no way to find the *types* of listeners listening on each channel. Maybe just being able to access the list of subscribers would be enough? > 2. If not would anyone be willing to offer advice / guidance / > checking the design as I put this together? Yes. Put together an example of an API you would like (you don't need to actually make it work), and I'll help you figure something out. The more you can share about the problem you're trying to solve, the more we can help! -- Aaron Patterson http://tenderlovemaking.com/
