Thanks for that quick answer Paul ; I misspoke. I' didn't mean I don't
/like/ IRC, in fact I do, very much. And you are right, firing up a
client and get help near instantly beats anything else. The culprit here
is my foggy memory, not the protocol ;) And yes again, publishing the
logs is not cool. And BTW it works /very/ well, #opensourcemusicians on
freenode looks like the lobby of a busy studio :)
That said, about that Gx plugin thing ? :p

Hi everyone!
I'm a bit ashamed because the question I'm about to ask have been
answerer already, by Paulo falkTX on IRC some days ago, and I
simply forgot it.
That's why I don't really like IRC: No backlog or chat archive, a
display glitch and you lose information, but I digress.
In general, providing public logs of an IRC channel is considered to
be a bit questionable. There's a default assumption on IRC that what
you say will not be searchable in the future. Every IRC user is free
to use an IRC client that logs the channel for their own purposes. I
have IRC logs from #ardour dating back to 2005, but will never publish
them.
It is MUCH easier to provide support to people on IRC because of the
massively reduced roundtrip time between question and answer.
