bebot has been logging for some time.  I'd prefer it if we have only
one mechanism in place.  We haven't had a chance to figure out what to
do with the logs (including where to post them, how to present them,
and how to search them).  Another issue is that I want to ensure that
it is well known that the channels are logged (I consider it impolite
to post logs from folks that don't know they are being logged) and
that we make some assurance that sensitive information doesn't
accidentally get published (at least until you can change that
password you accidentally typed into IRC).

Would you mind disabling your bot until we do that?

Thanks,
Jon
