Late last night I released the XPages OpenLog Logger project on OpenNTF. There have been options for logging to OpenLog from XPages for some time - Matt White's OpenLogXPages SSJS library from TaskJam and the OpenLogItem class I included in XPages Help Application.

I've just completed development of new release of the XPages Help Application. There are a number of enhancements and modifications, including some refactoring of the Java code based on the learning I've gained over the last six months.

The bad news is I didn't cover anywhere near all that is available in Dojo. The problem is there is just so much in the Dojo libraries that is useful. Hopefully with the demo application there is enough for people to feel comfortable ...
