Some apache projects that do you use IRC do keep archives.

Yup. And reading IRC archives sucks, so asynchronous communication is much harder :) > If it's added to an Apache archive, it is searchable and immediately > available to search engines. And that's one concern often raised. People that use IRC tend to be more, ehm, frank, and reading back an IRC log later will often stir up things that don't deserve stirring up. > Surely Web 2.0 has solved this simple issue! > > ?

Not just "logged". They actually need to be made there.

Be careful -- skype is not available to everyone (eg people running solaris or bsd). At least IRC is an open protocol.
