I tried etherpad once and hated it. I admit that I didn't give it a fair 
test, and maybe I would learn to like it.

The notes I take for myself sometimes have stuff in them that I would 
not want to share. So I have to censor my notes before sharing them with 
the group.

I have thought about remote note takers. But I think often the info 
coming to the remote note taker isn't sufficient to get complete notes. 
That is certainly the case when you have to reconnect.

Has anyone tried just running the audio from a session through a 
speech-to-text processor? (I expect it would be terrible, but one can hope.)
