Ultimately, if someone is interested in knowing what a team is doing,
they should spend however much time they feel is necessary for them to
be kept abreast of a team. Whether that be following a team blog,
subscribing to a mailing list, watching Air Mo, following a wiki page
or perusing logs.
For what it's worth, I think that we're conflating a bunch of only
slightly related things here.
As for whether or not IRC conversations _should_ be logged, or those
logs be posted on a public server? That ship has long sailed, and that
seems OK to me. That sounds like the way we should be working, and I
think that it's unreasonable to expect that these things _aren't_ going
to get logged.
Far as I can tell the question is: should that process be a formally
recognized - meaning internally-hosted & org-supported - practice? I
think that for many IRC channels, if not all, this is a good idea.
Being able to have static links to previous IRC interactions (for
Bugzilla, future discussion, whatever) so we can say things like "per
this IRC conversation [link] we've learned this thing", seems like
reasonable time saver and a low-cost practice that's in line with our
values. Some details to work out there, like making this explicit per
archived channel and pruning spam, etc.
This shouldn't be terribly difficult to set up, but I say that because I
wouldn't be the person actually doing the work.
I've filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1125827 to that
effect.
