[ComProj] about notes

Hello Please see the following comment as a constructive comment, from someone who can not go to all meetings, but sometimes like to know what has been decided in the meetings. If you write * Wikimania: Liaise volunteer Taking notes of goings on....and when it comes up... participating This is interesting, but force those not at the meeting to ask "okay, this probably means that someone was nominated to be liaising, but who was it ?" It results in a loss of time for the one asking and a loss of time for the one answering. It also imply that all those at the meeting will exactly remember the decisions taken (which is not always true) So, a suggestion. Writing a summary of the meeting is a good idea, but the format needs to be slightly different and requires hardly more time. Consider for each topic raised, mentionning the topic AND writing down tbe decision taken For example *symode09 introduced himself as video editor (and more) Outcome: he was welcome and we all told him we loved the project idea. A new meeting on the topic is planned wenesday 2nd * Presslist: Status? Some discussion about database formats. Outcome: only discussion. No decision taken * Bastique: needs a press release for wikibooks. Outcome: Sandy agreed to work on a PR on the topic, in the next two weeks * Wiki_Blue: .05 release, covered by BBC and Associated Press Outcome: it was covered by 15 main press media. There were some problems in the french press, resulting in the publishing being credited to the Foundation rather than Linterweb * Wiki_Blue -- CraigSpurrier: NY Times magazine: wikipedia & wikinews Outcome: Just informative * Wikimania: Liaise volunteer Taking notes of goings on....and when it comes up... participating Outcome: Decision taken: Schiste will be liaison * PR project: promoting WikiPorject Classroom. Information already on the email-list Outcome: no decision Of course, all my outcomes are invented. But do you see the difference for those reading the report ? It would be huge if you could do that.
