[gaim-migrate @ 13690] Documenting my revised thoughts about logging for unnamed chats. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

		* how do we log this? {{{
			* rlaager's proposal: {{{
				* the goal of logging is to be able to find something again.
				* you expect to see the logs for a person IFF they are in that conversation
				* you don't really need to see the log of a chat before or after said person joined it
					*if you did, you'd be looking at some other person(s)'s log
				* so:
					* each conversation has 1 or more logs associated with it.
					* when someone joins, a new log is opened to log everything that happens in the
					  conversation, but to that person's logs.
					* when someone parts, that one persons' log is closed
					* this causes some duplication, the way to avoid this would be to close everyone's
					  log on a join/part and use a new file.  we could then use links of some sort (hard
					  or soft) to "put" that one file in each user's directory.  but this would
					  needlessly split the logs of someone who had been there all along.  I think this
					  duplication is acceptable.
					* this would not solve the problem of chats with the same name as a buddy.

			* rlaager's (NEW) proposal: {{{
				* each conversation has 1 or more logs associated with it.
				* when someone joins, a new log is opened
					* file based loggers should try to use hard-links in a smart way
					  to avoid duplicating data on disk as much as possible...
					* this needs to be designed in such a way that a database logger
					  can handle it w/o duplication...
					* TO SOLVE THESE CONCERNS, a link and/or copy function callback
					  will likely need to be added
