I expect it to be easy...

Are you using Skype version 2.1? Because it is the last version which used proprietary DBB format which skypelog reads. Since then Skype switched to sqlite database, which you can read with many tools, e.g. 'sqlite3 main.db .dump'

Yes, it's "Skype (Beta) 2.1.0.81".

Since then Skype switched to sqlite database,

skypelog should probably detect this and either do the same (extract from sqlite and format as JSON or HTML) or at least tell the user "Your Skype is too new. Use http://other-stylelog-tool".

I don't have Skype 2.1 so it is hard to test any changes. This project was more intended as a starting point for interested people, rather than end-user tool.

You can add TXT output by modifying dumpmsg_json_compact or dumpmsg_html.

Concerning other things, patches/pull-requests are welcome.
