Nice! :-) IRC ought to have a logbot (http://moritz.faui2k3.org/en/ilbot is a perl one, example at http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2008-01-06 :-) so the discussions are indexed by search engines and hopefully available via RSS too for lurkers. > This doesn't replace face to face but there would be some value in a > follow up meeting being done over skypecast and face to face, with video > for archiving. Please don't refer to VoIP conference calls as "Skypecasts"; Astertisk is more than capable of doing conference calls - eg http://wiki.eclipse.org/Asterisk_Conference_Calls - and you shouldn't endorse and recommend proprietary and unreliable Skype. -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
