Thank you for reply, the current logs are stored at http://bots.wmflabs.org/~petrb/logs/ for instance the dev channel is logged (some of the channels are not being logged althought the folder exist), you can just jump for instance to #mediawiki-move and type anything there (it's empty channel), you would see if it's ok, if not let me know. I want to create some php pages for searching the logs and place them to svn as well.
Concerning "wariness": You didn't get my point, this new bot is supposed to be managed by community, not a single person, so there should be any problem with "trustworth" it doesn't matter if you trust me or not, the source code is in svn, so that you can see what is there, you can change it or fix it, the binary is installed on instance on labs which would be probably accessible in the future to anyone who would apply for access and has svn account, so that anyone else who would like to operate the bot could do that, and easily help with the job of any other operator who wouldn't have a time for that. However as I already noted, if there is someone who actively maintain the current bot, I see absolutely no reason to convince you to switch to this one.
