Freestyle meeting minutes/note taking option
The meeting module is very rigid and focuses on task-oriented meetings. It is not ideal, if the the meeting is focused on preliminary planning and brainstorm sessions. It would be nice to have the option to take minutes more freely without needing to create categories etc., but rather a blanks sheet of paper (similar to one note and word). The freestyle option would still have a header with meeting details and an attendance list, but a blank sheet for the main body. The goal would be to select which meeting style is desired when starting a new meeting agenda/minutes.

I agree that we want to use the meeting module but cannot because most of our meetings are not purely based off an agenda and can go in many directions.

The point of meeting minutes is to have an accurate and complete record of the discussion and decisions. The technology choice for minutes should be the best suited for what you are documenting. We should not only be open to choices, but encourage the choices that work the best in different cases. Regardless of the technology used, minutes must be accurate, complete AND filed in the proper location.
