Trust me, you didn't miss anything. The things discussed offlist, as I do
with yourself, Martin and others are almost always unrelated to decision
making. I'm glad I was able to help Wendy and others get up to speed with
what I had done so far with Maven, and since then she has far surpassed the
extent of my Maven knowledge. Wendy is a regular Maven maven ;)

So by its nature, chat is exclusionary. I agree that its more
expedient but it does not offer the chance for everyone to
participate. My personal view of open source is that its not about
what is most efficient. You give up certain efficiencies (like quick
turnaround times) but you gain more then you give up (synthesis of
great ideas, massive amounts of around the clock manpower.) A
transcript is helpful but its basically a record of a conversation
that took place without everyone's involvement.
Once the chat transcript is posted, people can reply to it
asynchronously, like anything else. Back when we were setting up
Maven, James and Wendy mentioned that had a few chats while getting
everything configured. If they were chatting in a place that was
automatically transcripted, some of us might know a little bit more
about our infrastructure today :)
This is not to say that any of us is not sharing information. We all
do. It's just that our systems should be configured to *automatically*
share information. A transcript-bot for chats does exactly that.
