Having looked at the excellent work being done here, I wonder what's 
happening at the other end of the pipeline. That is, what's listening for the 
events that the logger is generating? Has anyone got any plans to write a 
logging sink for the other end?

The sink would perform the following duties:
 - accept events from the logging module via all the logging module's
   handlers
 - present a display of the events to a user, either graphically or
   textually (the most basic of these would resemble the UNIX tail -f)
 - redistribution of events to other targets
 - filter incoming events, possibly aggregating, possibly dropping
 - have state which would be affected by the filters and may cause new
   events to be generated (ie. escalation)

Anyone think this is a good idea?
