While that's true, I know plenty of channels that do it that way.  I 
undertand the concern though.  It's really up to the people.  I am the 
"channel owner" right now so I don't particularly care.  I am always in there 
anyway :)

* If you're considering publishing channel logs, think it through. * The 
freenode

If you're publishing logs on an ongoing basis, your channel topic should 
reflect that fact. Be sure to provide a way for users to make comments 
without logging, and get permission from the channel owners before you start. 
If you're thinking of "anonymizing" your logs (removing information that 
identifies the specific users), be aware that it's difficult to do it 
well-replies and general context often provide identifying information which 
is hard to filter.

If you just want to publish a single conversation, be careful to get 
permission from each participant. Provide as much context as you can. 
Avoid the temptation to publish or distribute logs without permission in 
order to portray someone in a bad light. The reputation you save will most 
likely be your own. / network is an interactive environment. Even on public 
channels, most users don't weigh their comments with the idea that they'll be 
enshrined in perpetuity. For that reason, few participants publish logs.

could we setup a system that allows logging or records of search against the 
logs, being the only way they could be available? i can offer help setting 
this up.
