Bug ID: 50824
Summary: generate formatted IRC logs
Product: Tools
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WM-Bot
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The raw ASCII of IRC logs is hard to read. This limits the appeal of IRC office
hour logs and general IRC channel logs, yet WMF uses them a lot for
communications, e.g.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours#Office_hour_logs>
The Python package irclog2html converts IRC logs into something much nicer to
read. Compare e.g.
<http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/%23wikimedia-office/20130620.txt>
with <http://piramido.wmflabs.org/misc/ReleaseProcessRFP_IRC_log.html>. Maybe
the IRC channel logging infrastructure could generate HTML logs alongside the
text logs using this.
An alternative is to get Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi or some other
MediaWiki extension to handle IRC log format. That would work for logs pasted
into a wiki page and perhaps it could fetch text from the logs directory for ad
hoc log display.
Thanks for the bots infrastructure!
