below) and other recent threads, here's what I would propose also be
doc'd:
"IRC can be used by a podling to bring new people up to speed (e.g.
Q&A between available committers and interested users/contributors),
although such sessions should be archived and made available to those
not able to attend. However, using IRC as a means to conduct
development/architecture discussions is discouraged. Even with the
best intentions, experience has shown that it is difficult to maintain
such discussions without implicit decisions being made in the
process."
that sounds good. it makes clear that IRC *can* be used for Q/A. and
it should be
made public. For instance for a Q&A "session" the content could/should
end-up in a FAQ or the FAQ should/could be enhanced.
also no dev/arch decissions is mentioned.
