It's certainly technically possible. I don't know how to do it myself, however. There are some cons to public logs (it's nice to be able to talk freely without fear that your words will be used against you in the court of public opinion), but I think all in all it would be worth logging the conversations.
If we're talking about #wikimediauk, I see no problem with regarding it as a public channel with officially logged discussion (and this prominently noted). Mind you, people would be bored senseless with most of it. Sean, how would we make Freenode OK with this, do they have rules about logged channels?
Actually, most of the discussion has been in #wikimania-oxford out of habit (that's where people were when the plans started to form, and that's where they've stayed), but we can certainly make an effort to keep talk in the right channel if it's being logged.
