Timeline:  ASAP Open Source: Yes Goals Some top rules for developing the new recorders: all recorders, must be coded in a scripting language preferable, all recorders must work as CLI and Windows services all raw data, should be easy to access, via C:\Kronometrix\log\ , no more mysteries about AppData directory transporter should be done similar way, coded using a scripting language memory footprint 64MB RAM Perl5 We been experimenting previously with C/C++ for Kronometrix on Windows.
