Hi Ekr,

Nice – thanks for putting this together!

I had a look at some of the generated minutes. The gist of the meetings and the next steps are generally well captured. It currently does not reproduce the discussions (questions/comments/answers) explicitly (as many human note takers would). Do you think it's possible/useful to increase the level of detail a bit?

Best regards,
Dirk
