I have a concrete suggestion for WG chairs: don't ask for a "Jabber
scribe" (which makes it sound as if the hapless volunteer needs to type
everything that's said into the chatroom) but instead ask for someone to
relay comments from the chatroom to the mic.
Basic question: what has been the claimed purpose for doing jabber scribing?
I thought it was a means of produce raw minutes. A side -- and sometimes
extremely valuable -- benefit is as a relatively real-time alternative source of
information about what is being spoken; this can be quite helpful for
participants who are not native English speakers.
If neither of these purposes are worth the effort, then your suggestion sounds
dandy. If either is sufficiently valuable, then my question is why your groups
haven't needed them. (I'm expecting the answer to be that your groups didn't
feel the need; so my real question is why not?)
