Hi

One other idea I could throw into the pot is to have a logger class. We
could then set it up to write to console, to file or even in the future
to some part of the gui. The latter could help when we have non
technical users and windows users who experience problems - we can just
ask us to send output from the logger window or whathaveyou. Log
requests could be static methods or we could use qt signals and slots
and connect the logger to objects being logged when they are
instantiated. Example invocation mechanisms:

emit logMessage("foo",QgsLogger::Critical);
emit logMessage("foo",QgsLogger::Informational);

or

QgsLogger::logMessage("foo",QgsLogger::Critical);
QgsLogger::logMessage("foo",QgsLogger::Informational);

Just another thought anyway...

Regards

Tim
