Call for a meeting (Gobby)

I feel meetingology plugin as a good minutes plugin for command-line
style meetings.
Gobby in minutes (or other documents) is more text-free editor, then
people must deploy structured conclusions from the mind to the minutes,
but doesn't need written commands nor hierarchical roles.

My experiences say that it's much better a text meeting than anything
with audio/video because:
- Audio/video introduces setup time at meeting begin (ever)
- Audio/video has higher internet and computer requirements
- Audio/video skips rational & conceptual format of each participant's
messages.
- Audio/video is slower for same said message lengths
- Audio/video REGUIRES everybody to have same level of stream & acoustic
eficiency to hear everything what is said, and to talk and be heard.
- Audio/video is difficult for some people to express quickly and clear
what is thinking, and to react well to other's interventions.
- Audio/video requires everybody's silence to attend 1 person, and
cannot prepare own message in the meanwhile -> slower meeting.
- Audio/video requires more learning time and tasks for each participant.
