It should be noted that you can, like every other freenode user that
wants to keep logs, establish a connection and keep your very own. For
example, I have a ClueNet shell account, which is very convenient for
this purpose, to which irssi stores all of my logs in ~fastlizard4/logs.
If I ever want to search the logs, all I have to do is open up nano and
use the search function, or simply `cat ~/logs/channel.log|grep 'Search
string'`. You simply cannot release these logs to the public (under
current policy). In irssi, to start logging, all you have to do is
'/log open -autoopen -targets #channel ~/channel.log' and that channel
will be logged. Similar commands exist in every IRC client that I know.
It may not be totally "open" as you desire, but anyone can do it and
have there own set of logs.

A few years ago, I had asked that IRC have a
searchable archive of
discussions. I was told that there were daily logs and I could get
one if I
asked. I asked, and was denied. Until IRC commits
itself to
openness, it
should have little to no impact on any facet of our
project.
Without
searchable
archives, IRC is not open in the modern sense,
regardless of who or
how
you can join it, or view it. The archives of this
mailing list are
searchable.

Greetings,
The IRC Group Contacts decided last year to hold a surgery every
three
months where general IRC matters could be brought up
for discussion
in
an environment in which IRC people able to put those
into action
(which includes all the contacts themselves) were present and
involved. Regrettably it took just over a year for the second meeting
to be organised, but this pattern will not be repeated!
Therefore we invite you to visit
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts/Meetings/August_2009>
and sign up for the meeting if you are someone
interested in how IRC
runs and especially if you are responsible for one or more channels.
That page will shortly contain procedural information on how we
intend
to structure the meeting to get the most out of it.
For convenience,
I
shall note that the meeting is at 1900Z on 3rd August
2009 in
#wikimedia-irc-meetings on freenode.
Yours,
Sean Whitton (seanw on IRC)
For the IRC Group Contacts
I have posted this message to the main public mailing lists to which
I
subscribe and would appreciate circulation of the
meeting's existence
to as many other languages/projects as possible as this is open to
all
- but please note that the meeting will be held in
English.
