Oh nice!
I've jabber-scribed a number of times, a few suggestions, no
requirements for the scribe but things that tend to make the process easier:
- as a scribe you may not know all people that step up to the mic, this
is not a big problem but it helps if you are clear about it, so
signaling you don't know or are not sure gives other people in the
jabber room a chance to fill in the name. I tend to use (?) behind a
name if i'm not sure and use (??) as the whole 'name' if I don't know at
all. Doesn't matter what method is used as long as it's clear. Most
importantly for 'new' scribes: it should be clear that you do not need
to know everybody by name.
- there usually is a lot of side-chat in the jabber room (i tend to do
that a lot as well), and most of it does not necessarily needs to find
its way back into the real room. As a scribe it helps to be very clear
in advance on how to signal to you that someone wants something relayed
to the mic; so ask people to put MIC: or something similar in front of
messages they want relayed.
