Functionality of the Log Window
Form an email from Pim Schellart:
At the request of Remo there is no way to enter log information on the log page directly. Instead you can use any client program to send JSON-RPC “addLogs” requests (in the same way that the clients currently send metadata. That way it can be integrated in the log tools of the observatories. Alternatively you could of course also whip up an emacs client that sends updated log messages to the server when saved or something If you feel that the logs really should be edited online the functionality can always be reenabled. Without clients that implement sending of logs it probably wasn’t a good idea to leave it activated. Perhaps we should allow for simple Markdown formatting in the logs. That should be easy to implement and would probably be more then sufficient. What I had before was HTML formatting but that is only safe if you only allow the editor tool on the website to generate it.
