Nate,

Good luck on this.  If it was me, and I've thought about it from time to
time, I would have done it in Python first. The syntax and high level
aspects are so much easier than C/C++ IMO, and execution speed probably
isn't critical.

It seems that logging is a very personal thing.  I haven't found an ideal
answer for my own needs, but I'm not sure my needs match anyone else's.
This is mainly a front-end issue (GUI, KB interface), while the backend
(db, data exchange, LOTW, what have you) is probably a lot more generic.
Which might suggest a two-part solution that would appeal to a wider
audience?
