Hello Jimmy, I'll offer that I'm using weblog to document os events whenever we have the technical capacity and the desire for things to go forward (when we want more than just an event).
I use wordpress, which has multiple admin access levels. It can be made public for all ppts to post directly to the blog. The notes from each session become a separate blogpost, written and posted by each convener. If others have something to add, they can post comments. If actions happen, it can be added as comments. If next meetings are scheduled, that can be commented too. And any of these comments can be pulled by a sponsor, editor, or team, or even by ppts themselves (depending on the circumstances and skills) into new blog posts. Also, wordpress allows separate pages that could be opened to group editing, where the overall agenda could be posted and edited as things unfold. As for wiki, I've decided that most groups are going to be too big or busy to dedicate the time, and develop the trust, required to work together in wiki. The other thing about wiki is that when it really works, it's a shared document, and individual posts often don't get obviously signed. This runs a bit counter to our habit of posting issues and names, reinforcing responsibility and also letting people take credit for contributions. In this last dimension, I think blogging fits quite well, because all posts and comments are normally signed by the author. Hope this helps.
