The minutes do list which substitutions were made, at the end. Its also possible to hand-edit a copy of the minutes and then use the minutes script (perl) to create minutes. Or indeed to hand edit a copy of the minutes afterwards. This can make better minutes, at the cost of delay. personally i would rather have slightly scrappy minutes published within, well, minutes of the close of the call. >>> After our mishap with the bot last week causing Anthony to have to >>> generate the minutes manually, Asking trackbot to start the meeting ensures that both zakim and rrsagent are present.
