Dear Gianfranco, Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

Personally, I wouldn't say "most conversations" here, but I am trying to avoid this conversation becoming a debate on the minutiæ… I would concede that that there are some advantages to having public IRC logging, but I don't see anywhere near enough advantage to warrant the Leader pushing it as a policy, as well as many disadvantages and, naturally, an extremely high switching cost. This is despite me veing very much in favour of asking questions in public — which admittedly isn't exactly same as logging — even going so far as to write a blog post about it: https://chris-lamb.co.uk/posts/dont-ask-your-questions-in-private Did you have specific types of conversations in mind when you addressed your question? Perhaps ensuring those become transparent in another way would assuage your concerns. Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org / chris-lamb.co.uk `-
