Point taken!

Although I don't see obvious solutions on the problem: should I use:
 - kist IRC names (but then one would have problems linking IRC activity
   with list activity, which is my main goal with the report)
 - real names (but then one joins IRC and sees different things)
 - both (bloating the report)
?

So far the best option I've seen is making an UbuntuPeople wiki page
with the mapping between the various names.  However, since it may be
useful generally and not only related to the documentation activity,
I've asked the developers if they would see it interesting.

If they say no, we could just do something specific to our list/IRC
channel.


Ciao,

Enrico
