Hello,

As part of the patterndb project, we plan to start a log sample collecting project. At http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/2010/11/log-sample-collecting-project/ you can read a document, which describes it. It has three main parts:
  1. background / what is it good for
  2. methods
  3. technical requirements

It still has some “FIXME” parts in it, but already enough to get started. Please let us know what you think about it, if you have any questions, miss any information, etc.!

Bye,
