I feel very strongly this would be a bad thing.

My reasoning behind logging IRC would be to provide a place where finding information about bugs, features, websites, etc on the channel. If someone wanted to look up more information on a particular subject they could simply click on the log and go to any particular spot on the wiki or the web to obtain more information. What if someone wasn't able to use IRC because they were at work, or blocked because of parental controls, etc? Providing a log would allow a person to find out what is happening. Just a thought.

When the reactos.com site was cracked in July, it left a script which contacted an IRC channel and got further instructions from there. That alone is enough for me to disallow any IRC connections from the box.

Doesn't the Wiki serve that purpose?

If only these things were discussed on IRC, that would be great. We understood your reasoning already, but IRC is blocked by parental controls for good reason, and our IRC channels are no exception to that rule. This, among other things, makes it a bad idea to log and post on a web page, no matter how good some of the tidbits are.
How about this as a suggestion: get on IRC and ask one of the gurus to give a talk about a particular thing you are wanting to document, and put that conversation on the web, perhaps after a little editing. This is the tack I have taken for some things.
