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?
