I don't think there's really any need for that, nobody is going to *want* to sink the time to fully read all that spew and moreover, most of it will be join/parts and the like. Don't confuse the run of the mill chan with republican ones really, there's so little similarity that they are for all intents and purposes different entities entirely. Did you ever join & check out of curiosity some "active" chans? Because I did and it's such sadness you can't imagine. Iirc MP also documented a few attempts, not like it's news. Just let the logs be as text files, they are inputs for automated processes not as much conversation, no. Basically you'll get with this small project a practical introduction to data/text mining if you hadn't had any so far. Sure, look through them to get some idea what is in there but don't waste time on web interface. You'll need to make instead some scripts for initial data cleaning and basic stats. Once that is done, we see what it says and therefore what else makes most sense as next steps. For scripting awk and/or R will probably do great and you should gain some familiarity with both anyway.
