Beta's are at http://auric.debian.org/~pa3aba. If you want to test betas,
please join the mailing list, listed at http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/Xlog.
I have not been working very intensely on xlog for the past few
months, because I got side-tracked in some other free software projects, but
I really want to finish version 0.7 within the next few months...

Good to hear this! There are examples in the xlog source tree (even in 0.6.1),
how to use logging from another application, see the 'remote' directory.
Version 0.7 will have 2 free fields, which you can give any name, so maybe this
can be used for logging a second frequency....

There is 1 application which fully uses xlog's external logging capabilities: 
gmfsk
by Tomi, OH2BNS. Clicking the 'Log entry' button in gmfsk will send all the 
information
to xlog for logging. Twpsk only shares callsign information with xlog.

There is an old-fashioned manual page of course :-) (man xlog)
I did not see any reason to write html pages for the docs, a good manual page
should suffice. KPSK, being a KDE application would include html pages I guess,
because html documentation is more or less integrated into the KDE desktop.
So if I would include html docs, they would be there for people to read, but
to integrate this into KDE would be very odd...

Let me know what you think.
