Are the discussions archived and searchable?

There's been some talk about doing that.  Right now, the channel infobot
(written in Ada, of course) logs the channel traffic, originally as a
debugging feature.  I guess since this question has been asked more than
once, by more than one person, there's enough of a demand that I should
set up a mechanism to format those logs in a useful way and put them on
the web.

So I guess the answer to your question is, not yet, but soon!  Thanks for
asking, Ludovic.  As a huge fan of your work maintaining the GNAT and Ada
packages for Debian, I really appreciate your interest.

Once the archives (what I have myself, and what I can scrounge from
others) are up, I'll announce their availability here.

Yes!

As a beginner I can testify to the friendly and informative atmosphere.
#ada is by far one of the best IRC channels, IMHO.
