There are good reasons not to publish IRC logs, so #debian-women currently has a policy against doing so. I agree with the reasons, particularly that a lot of people are more comfortable speaking informally and candidly on IRC if they know they aren't going to be google-able for everything they happen to spit out. IRC is an informal medium and keeping it that way is valuable.
