Most of all, if you're interested in including people whose primary 
language is not English, IRC (or text-based communication) is a lot 
more accessible than voice.

Also, skimming through written logs from IRC is a lot easier/faster 
than listening to audio recordings for those that couldn't join in real 
time.
