- Roger: put off asking questions if devteam is consumed in some other long discussion
- Roger: may be okay to have a fixed number of well-known chat rooms on specific topics
- Josh: Adium makes it harder to discover chat rooms and activity in them
- Andrew: what about searchable logs?
- Kenny: Jabber server at Dundee is old and probably needs to be replaced
- Jason: decision is to have fixed rooms, logged, aggregated activity metrics

- Jason: will also look into Jabber server at Dundee
- Roger: just use IRC on freenode and a logging bot?
