This would be an extension to MediaWiki.

'''''Problem:''' how to keep track of structured events in meetings, such as action items, agreements, and possibly other formal events that happen in a meeting, such as an attendance log.''

# Make a template that will collect information '''''from minutes''''' in an easy format.
#* <nowiki>{{action|new/update/done|user|text}}</nowiki>
#* <nowiki>{{decision|text}}</nowiki>
#* <nowiki>{{present|user, user, ...}}</nowiki>
# Call the extension from within the template
#* <nowiki><MeetingEvent type="action" from={{{PAGENAME}}} age="new/update/done" user="{{{1}}} ">{{{2}}}</MeetingEvent></nowiki>
#* <nowiki><MeetingEvent type="decision" from={{{PAGENAME}}}>{{{1}}}</MeetingEvent></nowiki>
#* <nowiki><MeetingEvent type="participants" from={{{PAGENAME}}}>{{{1}}}</MeetingEvent></nowiki>
# Stuff the data in a table.
# Define extension tags for searching/sorting/listing the data
#* <nowiki><MeetingEvents type="action/decision/participants" where="query string" [header="field headers"] [sortkey="fieldname"] [limit="count"]>"field list"</MeetingEvents></nowiki>
#** where "field headers" is a whitespace separated list of column headings
#** where "field list" is is a whitespace separated list of names of fields to be output in a table
#** advantage: can code static query pages easily, rather than require end-user to come up with a query
#** disadvantage: need to guard against SQL script injection

'''''Much simpler'''''
Modify a copy of the tasks extension so that surrounding agreements with <agreement>...</agreement> tags would make all agreements, with links to their minutes page, automagically show up in a special page.
