1. Trying to keep up with a project by reading IRC logs (or watching meeting videos) is a lot to ask for many people. This takes a lot of time and someone could end up spending all their day reading logs and watching videos to stay informed. We need to make sure that sharing the logs addresses the case of people who hang out regularly and just want to catch what they missed. We need to make sure that teams do *not* say "if you want to follow us, read the logs."

Mozilla has a dearth of good note takers, in terms of solving transparency I would be more in favor of trying to solve that problem, not using public logs to solve it. I am in favor of having logs accessible for Mozillians to solve the problem of people who do follow the team missing conversations when they're disconnected.
The same discussion came up on sumo, and I think the same argument I made there also applies here. By making the raw data public, any volunteer who wasn't there to take notes can read the logs and create good notes.
I think that solves both problems above. It's also a great example of how being public enables more people to contribute.
