We need some working documentation of these discussions. I have a hard time keeping track of them.

Rainer/Gergely: Can you put this together or at least send me some thoughts?
I would like to get this posted to the lumberjack wiki as a reference.

Also, we should do our best to separate the needs of the syslog protocol from the syslog message format.
I see priority/facility and most of the header information necessary for the syslog protocol, but not at all for the message format. If similar fields are provided in the message, my suggestion would be to treat them as being associated with the event. The syslog header fields should be kept as part of the syslog protocol (not the event message).

@Keith: how about wiki access as a work platform?

If you're an "authenticated" user to fedorahosted, you should be able to 
create a new page on the lumberjack site via [1].  For now, I'll just 
leave the wiki R/W for authenticated users unless we have a problem.  
Also, I have no problem giving admin access if there is something you 
want to do that can't be done as a normal user.  FWIW, normal 
authenticated users appear to have very broad permissions.

P.S. If you do create a new page please add it to the TOC on the main 
page.  The TOC on the landing page is this little line...
[[TOC(WikiStart, schema, sampleXml,sampleJson,sampleProfile)]]

Since it took me a while to find:

You can apply for a fedora account through the RedHat Fedora project
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Account_System/NewAccount

This will allow you to authenticate to the lumberjack wiki and contribute edits
