Hearing and Speaking Problems for Non-Native Englishspeakingparticipants.

[spencer at mcsr-labs.org]

Dear Dave,

I've chaired two Jabbered BoF meetings, and had "mixed results" - one
meeting where we had excellent Jabber logs, and one where we had almost
none...

When we had Jabber logs, they were extremely helpful. The thing I would be
slightly concerned about is, I really like merging multiple scribe streams
to figure out what REALLY happened, modulo side conversations, potty
breaks, and jet-lag-induced naps, and I'm not sure we'd get multiple Jabber
streams. So it would be good to have multiple scribes, one of whom could be
using Jabber.

This does point up the difference between scribe notes and WG minutes. In
most cases I've been involved with, we've had the choice of "he said/she
said" notes with all the details, or summaries without all the details. We
have the possibility of publishing BOTH, and I think Jabber would help us
make this happen.

And what do others think?

Spencer

is there some reason that wg official scribe and jabber scribe cannot be
exactly the same typing actions?  in other words, is there any reason
that typing notes to jabber cannot serve as the notes given to the
chair?  One advantage is that the chair then gets comments included from
others.
