Not without having something log the channel constantly, ie by sticking 
an eggdrop bot on there and having it log everything. There are obvious 
privacy issues with this though. And if it's an automatic thing it could 
put up random quotes from people who don't want those quotes shown to 
the world. I think It needs to be at least *checked* by a Real Person (tm).

It wouldn't be hard to semi-automate something like this and have it use 
the same stylesheet as the rest of the site though. And even something 
similar, but less detailed for the mailing list.

In fact it might be a good idea. It does paint a pretty picture of 
community participation, which is what we should be trying to promote. 
If people looking at the website don't see any signs of the community, 
they won't want to join it.... argh, talking websites again.
