I agree, and wouldn¹t auto-format slides, but have the MeetEcho dashboard
include the Display Slide function, which would pull them directly from
the materials link.

I would even put a radio dial or slider into MeetEcho allowing MOS
feedback directly in the app. With sequence numbers and/or flow data,  we
could get useful feedback on what¹s causing problems. A general spec for
this would allow it to be generalized to other apps, too.

Only if audio is reliably good.

Sometimes I¹m able to add or correct a speaker¹s name in etherpad, but my
own notes often include comments and followup notes to myself that are not
appropriate for the etherpad notes. Not that they¹re Inappropriate, but
they can include suggestions for future work, or gaps, etc.
I merge my notes with etherpad when preparing minutes.

No. Jabber is also useful for background questions and corrections, which
again are not appropriate for minutes.
