I am not sure what you mean. I can certainly link this mail to the wiki page to make it official. But… did one of you use IRC? If you did and that person has the textual IRC log available, I can try to run that through the usual minute generating script. It is not sure to succeed, because the irc logs' formats are wildly different from one client to the other, and the script may not recognize that particular format, but it may be worth a try.
