Description

Very cool project. I'll be thinking about how we can integrate it with other tools in the space we're working in. Anyway, I wanted to suggest (since I saw you had as a todo) a tool used for a nice way to do extensions in Go: https://github.com/progrium/go-extpoints

Here is a blog post explaining our first major use case and a bit on the user experience of it: http://gliderlabs.com/blog/2015/03/31/new-logspout-extensible-docker-logging/

Contributor guide
