I see. Where can I find a log of previous discussions so that I don't
have to be on IRC for 24:7 or start asking  stuff  that  has  already
been discussed?

This is nonsense.

Yes, this is waht I complained about, too.

How can I? Where can I read the previous discussion?

No. There has been a lot of experience with working in a not formally
organized group. Usenet is much, much older even. There  has  been  a
long tradition of newsgroups and mailing lists, which both have their
special benefits, andvantages and disadvantages.

IRC may be fine for making an  appointment  for  dinner,  or  guiding
somebody  through  a debug session or the like. It is not appropriate
as the SINGLE channel for kernel development.

I will be happy to do that. In a medium where  others  can  find  the
information,  too.  Even  if  they don;t happen to be online the very
same moment.

[But all this is off topic here.]

Best regards,
