Uh, the IRC logs... Do people really think making those *searchable* would be useful?
I think they'd be *extremely* noisy and hard to interpret without a person really just sequentially reading them. Lots of people talking at the same time, multiple topics, lots of very short intertwined messages that always need a lot of context, aren't threadable, etc. Archiving the logs feels like it would be useful, but realistically speaking, they would be pretty big and who has the time to read them after the fact? You guys all read the recent issue of The Economist, right? ;) Otis ---- Sematext :: http://sematext.com/ :: Solr - Lucene - Nutch Lucene ecosystem search :: http://search-lucene.com/ > >From: Ian Holsman <li...@holsman.net> >To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org >Sent: Thu, March 18, 2010 1:47:56 AM >Subject: Re: #lucene IRC log [was: RE: lucene and solr trunk] > > > > > > > >+1 > >>I'd like to see the IRC logs added to things like > >http://search-lucene.com/ and > >http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/?q=IRC&Search=Search > >>while it might not be great for decision making.. it is amazing for >helping debug common problems people have > >>On 3/17/10 7:10 AM, Chris Hostetter wrote: > >: with, "if id didn't happen on the lists, it didn't happen".
