I typically write "everything" down, questions and answers. Example: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Alice Our objectives are ... * Collegue We can show you our architecture. It indeed does this and this ... * Me What's your deadline? --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I've already tested several alternative Org "styles", such as: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- - Alice :: Our objectives are ... - Collegue :: We can show you our architecture. It indeed does this and this ... - Me :: What's your deadline? --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- But I did not find yet something nice enough when exported to LaTeX. The first example is nice and easy to write, but its PDF output is a bit ug= ly, having names of participants as level-1 headings. The second one is not that easy to write (typing the terms when RET'ing), a= nd is a bit difficult to use when the ideas expressed by the person speaking h= ave to be broken into item lists -- not to speak about the problem when mixing text and list items and back to text, all of that inside another item... How do you write such minutes of a meeting? Obviously, I'm talking here of writing everything down: who did say what. Would it be a summary of the meeting, then, there's is no such problem.
