Uh, no. Unless the software has been modified for some projects, only
users with checkuser permissions can access the checkuser log. The last
time I saw it (it no longer displays automatically each time you load
the page, and I rarely have call to review it, so it's been a few weeks)
it *did* display all checks on all wikis, but not publicly. And it
shouldn't; private information could be worked out from the sequence of
checks run.

But it is available for review by others "outside" of those who are
performing the actions. And the log is available and *may* be up for
public review again in the future. My attitude on this is that all
actions of project related activities should be transparent where
possible, and subject to review by 3rd parties. I know this was
something that was being discussed, and I would like to have some sort
of general activity log of some sort, even just a checkuser scan count
and the last time it was used by the user with checkuser privileges.
