Deciding on a neutral and efficient log format

Clearly there is a need for a well defined core of standards for a log format. In this wiki a RoadMap is built with that goal in mind.

This wiki is a vendor-neutral space for agreeing on a new log format that is:

* 100% vendor neutral,
* implementable by everybody, anywhere, for any reason
* freely extensible by anybody, anywhere, for any reason
* cleanly and thoroughly specified.
Here's the project roadmap:

Decide on the conceptual model of a log entry.

* Decide on a syntax for this model.
* Build a syndication format using this syntax.
* Build an archiving format using this syntax.
* Build a weblog editing protocol using this syntax.
