Yes, I found it after looking for something else a few minutes later.

;) Well, it is not "done" yet, thus further code sprints are needed :P

I totally agree to you here, but I made the same experience at work and in 
sports clubs too.
I think this is just a normal side effect of human interaction and 
laziness/prioritizing (and changing priorities) if you are not "forced" to 
work on a certain topic or if you work on multiple topics.

After all, they day unfortunately only has 24 hours. Pretty limited IMHO.

One has to take what one gets in open processes.


More serious: Like most active people, I have many things on my radar and 
can not promise to work on a certain topic.
I will try to keep the logging stuff more prominent on my radar for the next 
time, but I also not to put more priorities on my studies.

As kind of a devop, I really like good and flexible logging option as they 
make my way much easier. Thus I will really try to support you in this area, 
even if it is just motivation.

Best regards
