Everything, including /me comments get logged anyway, in Krijn's IRC logs. They just get excluded from the official minutes. So that's not really a valid argument against recording. But I think the advantages of having an audio recording that the scribe, or some other volunteer, could use to clean up the minutes afterwards to make them more accurate than they currently are, would have huge advantages. So even if we don't end up making the recordings themselves public (though I still think we should), having a recording is still valuable. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
