Hi, I'm the author of FireLogger. Hi Christoph! :-)

The protocol description is available here: 
http://wiki.github.com/darwin/firelogger

It is just an UTF-8 JSON encoded with BASE64 and broken into series of HTTP
headers.

I don't have big plans with FireLogger, because Christoph is already working on
FireConsole which should be probably the next great thing. And it should
resolve many things I dislike about FirePHP.

The main reasons why I started FireLogger:
a) Python support for Google App Engine
b) javascript-like interface (you have simply flog(...) call which acts as a
console.log)
c) simple JSON protocol, simpler code (PHP server-side library has less than
400LOC [1])
d) reusing firebug's console features to render structured data (server console
on the left, DOM inspector aka "watches" on the right)
e) during the time we've got a few special features like  
  * Python Profiling
  * Server Paths Rewriting
  * AppStats support
  * Proxying server-side HTTP requests (you know forwarding logs from CURLed
requests)
  * Password protection
  * Open in Text Editor support
  * etc.
