In the past, there was an Etherpad instance running during the meeting,
where every board edited the text during the meeting. Sometimes, some
members did the heavy writing, while other edited the text, tagged
properly, added references, and so on.

Thus, the heavy work was done during the meeting, sharing the workload.

Once the meeting was over, the content of the Etherpad instance was
copied to the private section of wiki.

After a week, if no objections were raised, they were considered
approved. That meant, moving the content from private to public.
That way, there was a time when the minutes were available promptly.
Timing matters.

When did this method stop being useful?
