Great point, I think I should also re-iterate something that Wil raised. While IRC is a great live tool for collaboration, it shouldn't be used at the exclusion of the other important community resources we have. That is to say, certain noteworthy or important discussions should be shared and brought to the attention of the mailing lists / wiki / issue tracker as well. This is something I hope we will try to encourage. Cheers the noo, Graham
