[xwiki-devs] [proposal] IRCbot log formatting improvement

Hello devs, I have a proposal to make about the IRCbot Application. As you know, the bot logs the channel and saves the content in order to make it viewable from the xwiki designated page. I would like to propose two things : Proposal 1 In order to make archive logs more easily readable and more easy to follow, I would like to change the way the logs are saved. I would like to use a standard format (also used my all major IRC clients like Pidgin, IRC, XChat, irssi, etc). Because date/time will have always the same length, aligning it and putting it at the begginning of the line, makes the text more easy to follow. So, the proposals are : Version 1 (the one we have now) user1 - (20:07): You can comment if you have edit right JohnDoe - (20:07): ok, thx for the answer IreallyLoveXWiki - (20:07): I’m off for today, bye XWikiNormalUser left at 20:07 (Quit: Leaving. EnterpriseUser joined #xwiki at 20:38 EnterpriseUser left at 20:38 (Client Quit sburjan is now known as sburjan1 (~sburjan(a)this.is.areally.long.address.ro Note that the ")" doesn't appear on logs, so this should be fixed any way. Version 2 [11:05] XWikiNormalUser : How can I edit a page? [11:05] IreallyLoveXWiki : You have to be logged in order to do that [11:05] JohnDoe : I love Open Source ! [22:55] EnterpriseUser : joined #xwiki at 20:38 [22:56] EnterpriseUser : left at 20:38 (Client Quit [14:22] sburjan is now known as sburjan1 (~sburjan(a)this.is.areally.long.address.ro) Version 3 [11:05] <XWikiNormalUser> How can I edit a page? [11:05] <IreallyLoveXWiki> You have to be logged in order to do that [11:05] <JohnDoe> I love Open Source ! [22:55] <EnterpriseUser> joined #xwiki at 20:38 [22:56] <EnterpriseUser> left at 20:38 (Client Quit) Version 1 : keep these addresses in log (like we have now) sburjan is now known as sburjan1 (~sburjan(a)this.is.areally.long.address.ro Version 2 : remove then from logging sburjan is now known as sburjan1 I am +1 for 1.3 and +1 for 2.1 Please send your feedback and even your proposals if you have one. WDYT ? Regards, Sorin B. [14:22] sburjan is now known as sburjan1 (~sburjan(a)this.is.areally.long.address.ro) Proposal 2 We also log the user ip/host addresses when user joins. This also makes the line much longer with information that it's not needed IMO. This could be also a privacy concert, because your ip/host address is exposed to anyone who uses xwiki.org . Version 1 : keep these addresses in log (like we have now) sburjan is now known as sburjan1 (~sburjan(a)this.is.areally.long.address.ro Version 2 : remove then from logging sburjan is now known as sburjan1 I am +1 for 1.3 and +1 for 2.1 Please send your feedback and even your proposals if you have one.
