I second this. But as Andreas and me found out, the KAVI-manageable 
actions only have an owner not a group of owners/workers as the name 
owner suggests in its more specific interpretaion. So we might cure this 
by combining the proposals:

If we follow the second suggestion also, we can combine this in my point 
of view to a very convenient strategy:
A) online generated and managed "single owned" action itmes
B) near real time minutes indicate if and what group of workers is 
responsible for which action item.

Havin read Juan Carlos proposal and the positive feedback from Nick and 
Andreas I think in the upcoming conf call #5 on 1st of Ocotber we should 
give the meanwhile proposed service under say 	
           http://webconf.soaphub.org/conf/room/dss-x/
a try.

If we experience some "uninvited and notes disturbing" guest we may 
switch to a password-protected web-based chat.

I tried the facility with firefox and experienced no difficulties. A 
plugin had to be installed (corporate users may check for themselves 
;)), but this performed successfully without further notice.


Any opinions? If no one stands up against this proposal, we should use 
it on October, 1st, as we already used the skype chat with no formal 
approvement, didn't we?

All the best,
Stefan.
