Thanks for fixups @lidel. I tried a different gdocs->md converter... I want a better one. Or to move to hackmd or something not gdocs 😅

@autonome @olizilla I believe use of gdocs was copied from IPFS Weekly call somewhere in 2018, but various practices changed since then. For example, go and js weekly calls both use http://cryptpad.fr/ now:

• JS Weekly: ⚡️ⒿⓈ Core Dev Team Weekly Sync 🙌🏽  #650 (comment)
• GO Weekly: 💫 Golang Core Dev Team Weekly Sync 🙌🏽  #674 (comment)

We could replace link to gdoc with link to #790, and do what JS and GO do (post new cryptpad link every week). Not the best, but at least it would unify experience for people attending all three calls.

Thoughts?

I think I was one of the people who pushed for us to use gdocs to create a low barrier to entry for call attendees in terms of providing familiar tools and one-click access.

I still find it unfriendly to the meeting attendee to do something that can’t provide a one-click link from the meeting invite to the notes (as in the JS and go meetings), and I think it’s more important to prioritize the experience of all the people attending calls than the one doing admin work afterward. (When I’m responsible for notes the only thing I have to fix manually after that conversion tool is putting back in the spaces it deletes before every link.)

I also personally prefer having at least a few meetings worth of notes in the same place as each other so I can scroll down and quickly see and/or copy my previous entries as I try to remember what’s new for this week.

I'm in favour of using CryptPad or something that supports markdown out of the box, as converting from google docs to markdown is always a hassle.

I also like the flow of the JS Weekly (#650), having only one issue that gets a new comment per weekly sync with the link to the zoom and the new notes.
