Hello All, As was said on irc the reason for the logging started with the ckan channel. As technical discussions happen on that channel it is useful to read even if you were not around. It then expanded to okfn and openspending channels on request.
I checked out the terms and conditions on freenode and it seemed like it was not a problem. Having a name like okfn_logger, I thought, would make this clear enough. Personally I consider everything on irc public, but I can understand that it can cause concerns. I have done the following to alleviate some of them * Stopped showing hostname on connection * Added a robots.txt to disallow all bots. * If you do okfn_logger: help, it now shows you where the log files are. * We will most likely archive old logs as well. I do not think making the logs private (i.e just for the okfn) is fair or in the spirit of open knowledge.
