= Meeting Minutes Brainstorming =

This is an outline of ideas for how to structure meeting minutes structure, using existing microformats as much as possible.

A schematic outline of thinking for hMinutes:

hMinutes and xoxo root class
* "header" information:
** title
** vCard for organization, location
** date/time
** hParticipants
*** set of vCards
*** roles in this context
* list of topics (can be extensibly classed, also tagged using relTag)
** include title, description, etc.
** include hDecisions in text or as subitems
*** hDecisions also include hParticipants, with roles contextually identifying "proposer", "seconder", "opponent", etc. (locally extensible)
*** hDecisions have their own tags, or inherit topic's tag.
** Action items using vTodo from iCal spec, in text or as subitems.
* include vEvents for next meetings? special class to notate?

== hParticipants ==
We need a way to list multiple participants -- both in the meeting overall, and in an action item, and perhaps in a decision. So, here's a way to do that:
<pre><nowiki>

...


John Doe
Scribe
...


Mary Smith
Facilitator
Director

...


</nowiki></pre>
* Note: ROLE inside an "hparticipants" is strictly limited to the appropriate context.
** Inside "hminutes" but nothing else, hparticipants' roles define their role for that meeting.
** Inside, say, hminutes ''and'' <nowiki></nowiki>, the roles define who has what part to play in the action item.
** Inside hminutes ''and'' <nowiki></nowiki>, the role defines (perhaps) "proponent", or "opponent", or "abstainer" (or "mover", "seconder", "blocker", "standeraside", etc.).
* Also, note that "title" can be used inside hParticipants to define an enduring organizational capacity, rather than a specific role in the immediate context. Does this make sense?

== hDecision ==
* Have an (optional?) topic tag using [http://microformats.org/wiki/reltag reltag].
** If not included, parent topic's tag will be used.
* Use hParticipants to identify who is part of decision.
** Can we create a special "Everyone [else]" "hCard" value to include all participants from parent meeting? Use the "include" pattern?
* Should have "description" class, if not included tag is used?

== hMinutes ==
Example idea:
<pre><nowiki>
<ul class="xoxo hminutes">
<li class="header">
<ul>
<li>ABC, Inc.
...
</li>
<li class="meeting">
<dl>
<dt>description</dt><dd>Annual Meeting</dd>
<dt>location</dt><dd class="vcard">...</dd>
</dl>
<abbr class="dtstart" title="DT2006...">April 10, 2006; 7pm
<li class="hparticipants">
Participants:
<ul>
<li class="vcard">
John Doe,
Scribe and
Volunteer
...
</li>
<li class="vcard">
Mary Smith,
Facilitator and
Director
</li>
...
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<li class="agenda">Meeting Summary:
<ol>
<li>
<a href="http://somethingcool/topic/id" title="Would this be different than what is printed?" rel="tag">Our first topic</a>
<dt>
<dl class="description">
Well, we discussed this and that. Then we

decided to make a large temple to Indra.


James Mack
came up with the idea
,
but

Everyone else
agreed.





There is also this action item ''do example markup''


</dl>
<dt>
<ul>
<li>
... subpoints ...
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
... next topic ...
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
</nowiki></pre>
