Hi,
Maybe 'multitail' is a nice thing for the development-section
of the weekly lwn?

The program multitail lets you view one or multiple files like the original
tail program. The difference is that this program creates multiple windows
on your console (with ncurses). It can also use colors while displaying the
logfiles for faster recognizing which lines are important and which are not.
It is optimized for terminal-sessions through slow links.
Version 1.2: this version can now also vertically split the screen
Version 1.3: this version fixes an important bug: previous versions did not
stop the tail-processes they started.
Version 1.4: this version adds regular expressions. You can now define for
each window (or for all) what lines should be displayed
Version 1.5: this version adds a nice interactive menu for adding and
deleting windows
Version 1.6: numerous small additions and fixes: fixed printing of extended
ascii (accents etc.), added swapping of window-positions, added toggling of
windows verticalsplit, switched on extended regular expressions parsing
