Yes, it's at http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/ though it's still sparse.

We're pretty much duplicating the Web-space structure that OWL WG is 
using, so I'd imagine chat logs at:

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Chatlog_%yyyy-%mm-%dd

with formatted minutes at:

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/meeting/%yyyy-%mm-%dd

I was a bit confused by 
http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Minutes_Review_Conventions which 
suggests that the minutes are on the wiki and editable by any WG member 
when, in fact, that's not the case?

OK, I have an initial stab at this at:

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Participants2

OK.

Out first meeting's logs were at

http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-sparql-irc.txt
http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-sparql-minutes.html

What next? :)
