Talk:Meeting best practices (including remote staff)

Merge with Good meetings?
This page looks like it's begging to be merged with Good meetings, which was my guidance for people running sessions at WikiDev '16. This version of the document appears to have historically evolved from a list of gripes that people had, and now appears to be a checklist that will likely make people want to walk away and say "meetings are too hard...I just won't have one". Good meetings that are thoughtfully constructed are a good use of people's time.

I started looking at this page after talking to Joel last week after the Dev Summit, who asked that I file about T122987. I've done that, but I'm questioning if putting my minute taking suggestions into this document is going to be a good use of time. I think I'd like to collaborate with someone in TPG on generally improving our meeting practice (my time permitting). Any takers? -- RobLa-WMF (talk) 20:40, 12 January 2016 (UTC)


 * It seems like there should be a quick/light bare minimum for having a non-tragic meeting, and then a separate page with all the details. I could also imagine splitting the content between what meeting attendees need to know, versus meeting planners/facilitators. I can also see that a narrative form would work for some people, but more of a checklist/menu would be more effective for others. I would be willing to try some collaboration, time permitting, to see what would make sense for these two pages. --KSmith (WMF) (talk) 22:34, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
