I like that solution. We could discuss the entire agenda on Wednesday, write a report on the wiki, and then go over it again on Sunday (with other people) and add additional information to the report. I can see this work for idea generation and a lot of other tasks. We might have to come up with a multiple (2 or 3 ?) phase voting procedure (only for democratic descision making ;-) and some other solutions, but I think it's worth the try.
