A lot of dancer discussion is made on IRC channel #dancer on irc.perl.org. I want to know if the discussions there are saved somewhere and is it possible to read them latter without using irc clients.
Nope. 2011/5/4 Иван Бессарабов <ivan@bessarabov.ru>

It has been suggested before, but the general consensus was not to provide public logs. To do so would require making participants aware of the logging, and could discourage people from chatting openly, or forever preserve in history something which someone said in the heat of the moment and regrets later, say. I do agree that it could be valuable perhaps, though, as there's lots of helpful discussion on #dancer. You're welcome to do your own logging from your IRC client, but we ask that you don't publish the logs you generate publically.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. It's a pity that the community has decided not to publish irc logs publicly. Hope this decision will change someday. I was planning to find out (or to write) some script that will save everything that is going on on irc to make it possible to read the discussions later, but after you answer I understood that it is better not to save anything even local, because I don't want to be afraid of the possible leak of that logs. 2011/5/4 David Precious <davidp@preshweb.co.uk>:
