Maybe get an IRC bot to dump irc logs to the mailing list every few
hours? Might be a bit spammy though....

znc and bitlbee are godsends when using irc asynchronously.
In particular I feed all irc convos into bitlbee and then into erc on
emacs (so I am not hurt when my connection goes away).

I'd really appreciate if we could actually use the mailing list for the

I have been told that to really be part of the OpenWrt action I should
have been on IRC; but I'm not in European timezone so that is not
actually a useful suggestion, since most of the most people most
relevant to decision-making are in Europe, and I would hope LEDE has a
more *inter-continental focus than OpenWrt had.
Agreed! I don't have time to hang out in IRC channels, usually. Or maybe
a different working style... (it distracts me too much). Anyhow I think
all important things and all things which don't need real-time
interaction should go thru the mailing list, please.
FWIW, IRC doesn't have to have real-time behaviour, and doesn't have to
be constantly distracting.
It's perfectly possible to have IRC conversations with people who are
never awake at the same time as you. You say something, they respond
when they wake up... and you respond when *you* wake up. Just like
email, in fact.
IRC gives you the *option* of real-time conversation, if you happen to
be awake at the same time.
And you don't have to pay attention to the channel all the time; an IRC
client should highlight if your nick is mentioned because someone is
talking you to specifically.
IRC is great for conversations which are more ephemeral, and don't need
to be archived for posterity.
