An Ignorant Suggestion

This is the first Blognomic dynasty I've played, so what I'm about to suggest may be an old hat idea around here. In fact, I'm pretty sure it must be.

Enforcement of our ruleset, like any set of rules I suppose, is heavily depentant on the exact order in which events have happened. If somebody makes a vote on a pending proposal that causes it to meet quorum, and afterwards goes on walkabout, the effect is different then if it only becomes pending after they are on walkabout, to name one example of this obvious claim.

It seems like there is no central "changelog" where all game events and their timestamps are deposited, though. It is possible to piece together when things happened by going to several sources, but this is tedious. Ideally, every game event (posts, comments, GNDT changes, rule changes, rule-initiated events) would be logged in such a changelog, making it much easier to determine when and what has happened, and if it was within the rules.

Is this idea on the plate for the eventual Switch alluded to in rule 98?
