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)

- I didn't realise you had asked this before! My concern is that we're ending up with a huge amount of public information out there. This increases the risks for people who go onto the Board - they may inadvertantly reveal their contact details in some way for instance - and I'm not sure I understand the benefit.
