Bug Description
Lernid is aware of the start times of sessions. It would be useful if it could link sessions that have already been given to the logs at irclogs.ubuntu.com. While irclogs.ubuntu.com does support linking to specific time stamps, I would probably avoid doing this. If the session does not start exactly on time, or if any of the clocks are slightly off, you will end up with a link that does not work as expected (since time stamps are only created when a message is sent, not at every minute).

I'm afraid I'm not following here. I gather the idea is to populate a column in the schedule for older sessions with links to irclogs, but I don't see a way for any program to exactly know when the session changed vs. a session running over. Is this done programatically, somehow, within recording mechanism for the irclogs? What advanced knowledge does lernid have?
I suppose we could record the time of the first message received after the time the class started--but that would only work for sessions where lernid was running and still might not really mark the beginning (and, more importantly end) of the preceeding session as speakers are sometimes given extra time to finish up.
Can you clarify this for me?
