You can login into a #fedora-art irc channel anytime you want and start 
discussing things with people who are available at that time.  You 
simply  cannot argue that a channel like fedora-art is closed in any way.

I have done that on several occasions so... I doubt even making archives 
available would solve that problem. In other words you are harping on 
the wrong end. Drop email, respond to blog comments and so on if you are 
on a different timezone.
