Hi!

Date and time stamp concept within the page doesn't really currently 
exist in Tiki. The implementations I have seen seem to add confusion to 
the page. It makes the page unpresentable (say you wanted to print the 
plan and present for a grant)

What is your goal?

If people want to see who wrote what, they can check the history. If 
people want to share personal opinions / editorials, they can use their 
UserPage. Please see:
http://wiki.oscom.org/tiki-index.php?page=People

A wiki page is not the best tool to discuss / debate. Mailing lists & 
discussion forums are better at that. Wiki is best to build content 
together and should be our consensus. If there are diverging points of 
views, we can split a wiki page in two or make two pages.  Ex.: 
ProjectColomboAgainst & ProjectColomboFor  If we are looking to 
prioritize a limited number of resources, we can use a tracker to 
allocate A, B C priorities to each project / task.

If you still want  "Date and time stamp" there are 2 options

1. Someone please show me a nice example of implementation (for 
inspiration to add this feature).
2. I activate the comments features, which shows nice threaded comments 
below the page.

Don't spend anytime trying to setup an IRC server. There are plenty of 
free networks.

Yes, you can use the #oscom channel (supplied by freenode) with the 
web-gateway (supplied by cgi-irc/linux-quebec).  Hopefully, one day, so 
many initiatives will be using these types of resources that we'll need 
to split the load, make new rooms, etc  :-)  That will be one of those 
nice problems.

If you want to install IRC logger, doc is here:

Best regards,

M ;-)
