I must admit i am a bit surprised that anyone would appear to be opposed to formalizing something through one of the two groups... It seems to me the goal of all of these other groups here is to pick up something that is lacking and people wish that we had a standard for. Regardless of history or agreement by vendors, no dev i know of looks to any of those as sources of standards and they give no indication themselves otherwise. I sent Rick the following link Friday evening and was hoping for a little tweaking before it was shared with a much wider audience. It contains explanation/goals/non-goals https://github.com/bkardell/logging Essentially though, some logging concept (usually console based) is supported by all engines, but the actual almost universally shared API has actually been pretty small. There is really no good reason i can see for that, logging really has nothing to do with dom or even console inherently - so why not get an actual standardized API effort to make the code at least universally portable with a source people can look up and recognize as standard? That said, i'm not interested in charging at windmills here, so if no one is interested, that's fine too.
