There's also a lot of chatter that happens on IRC, so logging is going to have a lot of noise. I'm still on the fence on what to do. I don't want to get in people's way, but we also need to have traceability about decisions, and we certainly can't have answers like "We discussed this on IRC and you missed it, too bad" happening (not saying that has happening, just saying I don't want to see it). -Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
