Re: [TOOLS-DEVELOPMENT] Fwd: Re: Meetecho Thoughts

I suspect it's mostly a matter of asking the MeetEcho folks for pointers 
to their formats. For example, the Jabber transcripts can be seen in an 
easy-to-use JSON format here:

https://play.conf.meetecho.com/Playout/session/IETF104-DOH-20190326-1120

And the timestamped transcript is here:

https://play.conf.meetecho.com/Playout/resources/IETF104-DOH-20190326-1120
