               <p>FreeType extensively uses a home-brewed tracing
                 solution that mainly relies on the C&nbsp;preprocessor
                 and the <code>fprintf</code> function printing to
-                stderr.  However, this simplistic approach is not

+                  tracer/logger, all its current features, and how it
+                  is currently being used.  Extract a few
+                  representative samples from FreeType to help with
+                  the next step.</li>
+
+                <li>Evaluate, compare, and discuss freely available
+                  tracing and logging libraries in respect to
+                  FreeType's current tracer/logger.</li>

+                  within FreeType.</li>
+
+                <li>Write a brief but precise &lsquo;how-to&rsquo;
+                  article for FreeType's website about using the new
