On the other hand, it's much faster and convenient to scan (and search) a text transcript compared to viewing a video feed. It also takes up less space to store. It's extremely amusing to think of a scribe as a compression algorithm, but that's basically what's going on. Unfortunately, as

It has potential, but not much more potential than if someone emailed a transcript at the end of the meeting. If you are interested in the meeting, but can't be there because you are not on-site, video is still far better. No transcript can possibly show the chair's facial expression as a

I have a hard time believing that chat-logs can ever come close to a reasonable report of what happened. That is in the IETF context. Take a look at all the WG sessions minutes and try to see for yourself if they are understandable for anyone who was not present? And those get posted and reviewed

In a couple of WGs, the person taking notes did so live on the jabber channel. A number of times there were corrections made in real time to the notes by the other participants. There were also a few cases where the note taker would put out a question about something that had just happened or

I found the jabber logs helped me decide when to move between sessions, when micro-timing of schedules wasn't apparent and I had to be in 'both' sessions. I found sidebar conversations carried the subjective information you missed. I don't think we can yet intuit the consensus of the room to put
