The thing is, IRC should never be a summary or long term storage medium. IRC is a discussion medium. It is a hallway track. It's where ideas bounce around lots are left on the floor, there are lots of misstatements as people explore things. It's not store and forward messaging, it's realtime chat. If we want digestible summaries with context, that's never IRC, and we shouldn't expect people to look to IRC for that. It's source material at best. I'm not sure of any IRC conversation that's ever been clean, easy to read, and captures the entire context within it without jumping to assumptions of shared background that the conversation participants already have. Summaries with context need to emerge from here for people to be able to follow along (out to email or web), and work their way back into the conversations. -Sean -- Sean Dague http://dague.net __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
