add a logger feature

[CircleCode]

this first need a specification

[Hywan]

You mean: Log format?

Also do we need a client interface to see the logs?

[Jir4]

I think a simple one is needed first, maybe something more complex with why not a search engine after.

[CircleCode]

I think we should consider this as an extendable feature:
the logger can be extended with several output engines, making it easy to log in a database, or anything else.
The default log engine should be plain text files

Also, the search engine must not be part of the bot, the bot is only responsible of logging, while logs exploitation can be done somewhere else.

@CircleCode Correct.

Do you know any (IRC) log specification?

[CircleCode]

@Hywan you're the RFC master, I'd expect you to give some references ;-)

More seriously, for the first run, not sure any specification is required
since we directly output raw text to a file.
BTW, be careful because I suppose any log specification would refer to
system logs rather than archives, and an irc logger is more an irc
archiver than a real logger.

If everyone is OK, I would go for weechat logs format.

[CircleCode]

is there a direct link to the format you are referencing?

[Hywan]

Don't think so.
