Peter, very nice project and initiative! IRC is becoming more important for us this year, and I think that will only continue going forward.
The Qi servers are currently logging the #qi-hardware, #milkymist and #homecmos channels on Freenode, all by request and with permission of the key people in those channels. So feel free to use those 3 channels as your bringup data. Right now the Qi servers are using irclog2html by Marius Gedminas http://mg.pov.lt/irclog2html/ changelog: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mgedmin/irclog2html/trunk/view/head:/CHANGES.txt I have the following irc related todo items: *) eggdrop log files are not utf-8, so the html logs are not global either That's a big problem, I would like to get everything to utf-8 asap, but at least from my notes it looks like the problem is in eggdrop, before the html logger kicks in... *) the qi-bot could provide a way for people to opt-out of the logging it could maintain a per-channel list of nicks that don't want to be logged For the log view, yours definitely looks great. Can you make it more friendly to super simple browsers like text browsers or Netsurf? Do you have css hooks or so that allow easy 'framing' such as we have on downloads for example? http://downloads.qi-hardware.com - notice that we do not have that on http://en.qi-hardware.com/irclogs I think you should run your logs in parallel to the irclog2html on the Qi servers for a while, then we learn about the good and bad details. I have no problem in switching the logger on Qi from irclog2html to yours, but we need to consider what to do with old links, for example http://en.qi-hardware.com/irclogs/qi-hardware_2011-11-17.log.html#t00:12 (direct link to an entry, actually irclog2html doesn't allow linking to a particular line, finest granularity seems 'minute' which is a minor issue) http://en.qi-hardware.com/irclogs/search?q=[commit] (link to a search query) That's all that comes to my mind right now. Again: Nice project and thanks a lot for remembering your Qi friends and offering help.
