I just discovered the way to hide certain IRC messages in the Emacs
ERC client via erc-hide-list; however, I've been unable to find a way
to do this for specific channels/buffers.
In other words, I'd like to hide 'join', 'part', 'quit', etc. in my
higher traffic channels, but I'm in a few low traffic channels where
it would be handy to see that a person has joined.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

You could make the variables be buffer-local, and set them to
different values via a hook.

Thanks.
The help for make-variable-buffer-local recommends using
make-local-variable. The latter accepts one argument - the name of the
variable, so it appears to depend on some sort of context to determine
which buffer in which to make the variable local i.e. I can't pass in
a reference to a buffer.
The ERC doc shows a erc-join-hook which states the function is called
w/o arguments and the current buffer is set to the buffer of the new
channel. So if I can just figure out how to determine which channel is
associated with the current buffer, the rest should be easy :)
buffer-name might be sufficient since it looks like the buffer name
begins with the name of the channel.

On the off chance that this is useful to anyone else. Here's
the code I came up with to set the erc-hide-list variable for a
specific channel:
; Set the global variable to hide the list of message types
(setq erc-hide-list '("JOIN" "PART" "QUIT" "MODE" "NICK"))
(add-hook 'erc-join-hook
(lambda ()
(if (equal "#MyIRCChannel" (buffer-name))
(set (make-local-variable 'erc-hide-list) '()))))
Thanks Edward for pointing me in the right direction. It's amazing how
extensible and well thought out Emacs is.

It turns out this isn't working as well as I thought. It does set the
variable local to the buffer (as verified by C-h v), but some messages
that I wanted to see were still being hidden even with erc-hide-list
being nil in the buffer.
I tried flipping it so that the default was nil and I set it to the
list above for all channels other than the ones in which I wanted to
see the messages. As an example:
--- snip ---
erc-hide-list is a variable defined in `erc.el'.
Its value is
("JOIN" "PART" "QUIT" "MODE" "NICK")
Local in buffer #foo; global value is nil
--- snip ---
But I was still seeing "quit", "nick", etc. messages in the channel.
I suppose it has something to do with erc-hide-list being incompatible
with the buffer local mechanism.

When ERC reads the value of erc-hide-list (in erc-display-message), it
has not (necessarily) made current the buffer where the message is going
to be displayed (which can actually be a list of buffers).

Thanks - I think that explains what I was seeing.
It appears that erc-display-message is the *only* place that
erc-hide-list is referenced, so if I felt strongly about it I think it
would be straightforward to patch it to work the way I'd like.
