There are a couple of instructions that the scribe can use during 
meetings to help the RRSagent a little, see
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/%7Echeckout%7E/2002/scribe/scribedoc.htm

In particular using Topic: will help it generate section titles which 
can help with seeing the wood for the trees.

[By the way, if you edit the minutes by using "save as" in a browser (as 
seems to be the case with these ones) then the style sheet links get 
broken. Trivial point but it might be worth correcting them back to:
   <link type="text/css" rel="STYLESHEET"
      href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/base.css">
   <link type="text/css" rel="STYLESHEET"
      href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/public.css">
   <link type="text/css" rel="STYLESHEET"
      href="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/minutes-style.css">

I agree that these are no worse than normal. Though I confess I find the 
W3C style of IRC minutes very hard to follow and get little out of them. 
None of us, myself included, have met the standard set by Jeremy at the 
first telecon:
