You don't need to use IRC. Discussions on IRC aren't publicly logged. So you can't follow discussions happening there while you're not connected (unless you have a spy reading for you ;-)). If you read the general resolution, you'll see that the main communication channel will always be the mailing lists. The IRC is basically only an alternate non mandatory communication channel. #debian-devel is commonly used to comment the content of the mailing list, and if anything interesting is discovered on IRC, it will be summarized or explained on the corresponding mailing list. Of course, some subjects may only be discussed on IRC, but that should be considered like 2 or 3 developers discussing a Debian problem via private mail. If it concerns other developers, or if that information needs to be shared, they'll do so on a mailing list. > Is this an important topic to be discussed and clarified before we go to > voting on this ? I don't think so, since it's not really related.
