Can I use cinch to build and extend an irc logger?

I've been using a very old Perl IRC logger http://www.dajobe.org/software/logger/ for logging conversations on the #otrunk channel on freenode -- but it doesn't work very well and I know Ruby not Perl.

I'm not very familiar with irc bot programming but creating a logger out of a mashup of sinatra/rack and cinch might be pretty strait-forward -- and perhaps an example is already around somewhere.

Thanks for any advice/feedback.

Shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish what you want with Cinch. In fact, I believe the seen example in the examples/basic directory can be modified to be a chat logger, since it responds to all channel messages.
