I don't know if there are more things happening in IRC or outside the boards than before. The threads are not super active. When I read some things are discussed or decided some place else, I feel it's difficult to follow what is going on.
Perhaps someone could copy-and-paste the IRC logs to the forum afterwards? That would certainly be beneficial to transparency and history alike.
In any case, I'm very excited for this special session - this is a wonderful opportunity to make a lot of progress before the next Congress takes office, and I trust it will not be wasted.
