The question was about whether we wanted to have support for logging muc 
rooms, for publically available (or privately available) later reading. 
Something like http://chatlogs.jabber.ru/eja...@co.../ 
and http://www.jabber.org/muc-logs/jd...@co.../ .

The pam stuff didn't get as much testing as Rutgers as it should have 
(other issues prevented it from getting rolled out as early as I would 
have liked), so if we decided to use it it is entirely possible there 
may be a couple issues that will need fixing.
