As someone who hangs out on IRC a lot of the time, I feel pretty sure
that I can say that nothing important happens there related to X, with
the exception of #dri-devel's Monday meetings, which are logged
already.  About the only #freedesktop/#xorg communication someone could
have missed in the last week, that I can think of, was me asking keithp
what the deal was with modularization efforts these days and him
answering.

It seems to me, if we want better communication about the big plans, we
need minutes of the conference calls, where the roadmap seems to be
being laid out, rather than logs of all the end-user questions and
discussions of HURD and such that I've seen going on in IRC.
