From one of my fellow gimpnet IRC operators:

16:28 < CyBeR> cj: you should inform them that we (gimpnet) have no logging 
               service nor the intent to create one
16:28 < CyBeR> cj: and that open (as in, not +i or +k) channels should be 
               regarded as public
16:29 < CyBeR> and one should assume one's writings are logged and public when 
               conversing in one

That said, I'll put on my GNOME Foundation member hat and say that I'm
willing to help develop a logging facility for channels that the
foundation considers part of the core infrastructure.

Cheers,

C.J.
