I suspect you mean the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal and the Apollo Flight Journal, and they are semi-official NASA projects. (To tell the truth, I didn't know about the latter until after we built Spacelog.)
Although some of the commentary and analysis interspersed into them is awesome, we're not a huge fan of the ALSJ and the AFJ because:
- The weird split between Flight and Lunar Surface is a bit arbitrary
- They're a bit ugly (ugh, frames), whereas Spacelog is pretty (photos are inline, for example)
- It's difficult to link directly to a quote
- The commentary is on the technical side, while we want Spacelog to be fairly accessible
- Their transcripts only cover certain Apollo missions (notably not 13). We want to cover Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and more (NASA just released some Shuttle transcripts)
- They claim copyright on their corrected version of the transcript. All of Spacelog (both the corrected transcript and the code) is public domain like the original transcripts
