This seems reasonable, though I am not sure I am the right person to
implement that (or any other) spec in c++ (API implementations aren't
really my thing). Except for the XML, it looks like the current plugin
isn't too far off what is in the spec. Isn't there a performance issue when
querying a large XML file (e.g. imagine a search for all instances of a
particular target in a big file).

Good advice.

I tried QtCreator last night. I was surprised that it was as easy as
opening the CMakeList file and pressing build to be up and running.
Slightly off topic, but If I add new sources to the project inside
QtCreator do the CMakeLists get updated automatically?
So I managed to get the code with logbook running using the logbook branch.
It asserted quite a few times while I was learning how it works (editing
fields before adding things or because the sub tables with observers,
Barlow's etc were empty?) and I am not sure it was finding SQL when
stellarium was built outside of QtCreator (another assert complaining about
missing table or something - will track down the error message later.)
Maybe when I installed qtCreator it installed missing sql dependencies?
A couple of comments:
What is implemented sort of works, but is a little clunky. The nested
dialogs and item list that let you edit one thing at a time are inefficient
to edit. Having to go back to config to add observers, scopes etc is a
pain. No reason not to be able to make those changes on the fly while
editing a session.
I couldn't figure out how to add targets to a session. Is that not
implemented?
At this point I am a little unsure about how to proceed if I were to
contribute. The comments so far almost suggest starting over, but some of
what's there is probably useful.
