meeting bot?

Post by koshi »

Writing minutes is an activity unworthy of a human, the post meeting minutes process should be copy-paste-done.

Need, want, don't care, completely useless (for dev meetings here)?

would be good if we could automate it, but this approach seems to also add some new complexity... at least we would have to assign rights and learn and use this systems commands. the summarizing parts would still have to be done by hand... how are they plugged in?

I guess it could be much more low-key than the linked implementation. How about just having a start/stop, maybe begin/end section, command. After the stop command it would output
a) the recorded conversation run through the bbcode script that already exists. That would be the basis for manual summary and posting to forum
b) a plain html version that gets put at a web accessible location in a way that lends itself for easier archiving and searching.

I guess some kind of frontend to censor stuff would be needed as well?

Here's what you can do:

Code: Select all

[23:51:57] <MeetBot> !endvote
[23:51:57] <MeetBot> !item
[23:51:57] <MeetBot> !meetingbegin
[23:51:57] <MeetBot> !meetingend
[23:51:57] <MeetBot> !ring
[23:51:57] <MeetBot> !startvote
[23:51:57] <MeetBot> !vote
and this
[23:53:00] <_koshi_> !meetingbegin
[23:53:04] <_koshi_> !item welcome
[23:53:08] <_koshi_> hiho
[23:53:13] <_koshi_> !item last item
[23:53:26] <_koshi_> !startvote no more items?
[23:53:30] <_koshi_> !vote 500
[23:53:38] <_koshi_> !ring
[23:53:38] <MeetBot> Ring bibim_, [V]sheep
[23:54:12] <_koshi_> !endvote
[23:54:12] <MeetBot> no more items?: 1
[23:54:21] <_koshi_> !meetingend
[23:54:21] <MeetBot> meeting record ends
results in http://minutes.springlobby.info//logs/2 ... 05488.html
Yes, neither the markup nor the style is in any way nice. Looking for volunteers to fix that ;-)

Hardest part will be automating summary.

TASclient just keeps logs of conversations.

Exactly. Maybe that illustrates how useless it is to make a bot that basically makes logs.

I don't think that's all that possible Licho. I could add a "!conclusion" command whose arguments get appended after the whole log/each section.

of course the summary has to be done manually.
to do it automatically (in a usefull & meaningfull way), the bot would have to be more intelligent then half of hte community members.
... no machine will ever get that far! NEVER!

Meetings are now pickled and can thereby be run thru the template engine again after the initial output.
Added bbcode output.
