With six candidates simultaneously answering questions and spiritedly discussing various Debian issues, Part 2 of the live IRC DPL debate was necessarily a little chaotic. The chronological transcript [1] captures the authentic flavor of the live event well. However, due to the many interleaved messages treating disparate topics simultaneously, this transcript is also admittedly a little hard to read. For this reason, with debate Part 2 moderator martin f krafft's encouragement, I have distilled a semantical debate transcript from the original chronological log. This semantical transcript neither alters nor omits any part of the debate, but it does reorder the IRC messages to organize questions, answers and subsequent discussion coherently. The semantical transcript reads rather better than does the chronological original, I think. Perhaps you will agree. The semantical transcript is available here [2]. Candidates who have wished to do so have previewed the semantical transcript, offering amendments where needed. I appreciate their help in this (otherwise I could not have correctly attached all the right messages to their respective debate threads). Readers are likely also to find David Schmitt's DPL Q&A summaries [3] of interest. Happy voting. -- Thaddeus H.
