I think that I would like to just stick with the links to the official site
for log reading.  If you click on the Waypoint (was ID) you will be linked
from a single teams stats to their log for that cache.  Unfortunatly Jeremy
hasn't put anchor points on the log page so that I can just put a link to
the log itself.... Just remember CTRL+F and so a search for the team once on
the page.
Although I agree that it would be nice to have the actual logs all in one
place.  That would be the beginning of our site appearing to replace the
official site.  We would rather be viewed as augmenting the official sites
information, so where available we link the the offical site to get
information he is already providing.

On the other hand, what might be do-able is more information on archived
caches since it's rather annoying to have to log in just to read a log on a
certain archived cache.

Actually, now that I think of it, that might be very easily doable since we
have the whole pages for the archived caches, I could just link to those.
