let's put it On Betabug's List
OK, what I see here is turning some BLATHER into INFO --betabug, Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:47:13 -0700 reply
Looking through Zwiki code, what I see so far is that we are using BLATHER level logs almost everywhere.
What we would need is a good measure of replacing a few of them with INFO or WARNING level log messages.
- BLATHER would be used for finding out what's going on in details, so one could run an upgrade with a different log level and see how far it got. This is already set up like that in most cases.
- WARNING is for stuff that went wrong and the admin should be made aware off, maybe even post about it on zwiki.org, so we (the devs) can fix things. It's the case where something doesn't work, but the code keeps the wiki from breaking with a traceback.
- INFO would be used for notices that the site administrator would want to be made aware of, e.g. someone posting spam, or something not quite working as expected (but not breaking).
As far as I see it, the task at hand is to go through the code and re-classify the logging we do.
