Guys, While trying to find a log library for a project I’m toying with, I was a bit overwhelmed at the number of possible options out there. Choice is great, but I simply don’t have time to research each option in depth. I guess what I wish for is an online popularity index of libraries and gems. Sure, popularity is not an accurate measure of quality, but it can certainly provide a useful filter. Does any such thing exist? Thanks! John ---
