Public IRC logs

I'd like to propose that the old (say >1 month) IRC logs of Board meetings are archived onto the private wiki space. I appreciate these logs can be useful for understanding the decisions - and writing and verifying the minutes - immediately after meetings, but their usefulness after then I imagine is quite limited. Please let me know what you think below. AndrewRT 23:09, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
