Hi Peter, First of all great work and perfect to bring this up.. I’ve done this a while now, but haven’t brought it to a broader audience. thumbs up! So here is my first 50 cent on the doc:
Cool stuff with the tags.. This I can tel you will be valuable for many people. I use these kind of tags all the time to piggy back stuff, that could be valuable in the context. I don’t like the tag “event”. I think it should be <log> tag instead, no to confuse anybody. I have made several custom XMPP components and client where they have event tag embedded, which have a completely different meaning and context. Type and Level? I think its too complicated. Only level should be present and with fewer clases.. Debug, Info, Notice… is way too much. People tend to misuse and not think when they have a lot of choices. :-) -Cheers! /Steffen On 10 Nov 2013, at 20:31, Peter Waher <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all > > First of all: Thank you to everybody providing both input and an interest.
