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.
Just to be clear, this proposed piece of text was meant to supplement
what we have now that categorically excludes off-list decision making.
