There are two ways to create minutes for meetings. One way is to attach them as a comment to the meeting announcement. The other is as a standalone page of its own. The former method is perhaps quicker and easier, and has the advantage of keeping the agenda and minutes together on a single page, but the latter is perhaps the best approach as it is possible to create a dynamic archive of all the past minutes, and will show up as new content on RSS feeds.
Creating a standalone minutes page should be done using the “story” page type. If you don’t know how to create web pages on our system, read the FAQ page on Creating Web Pages. Once you create a new story page, select “minutes” from the scrolling “Topics” category list. If this is a SWNI committee or board meeting, also select the committee as a topic in addition to “minutes.” If this is a neighborhood association meeting, select the appropriate name from the scrolling “Neighborhood Association” list.
Now place the minutes themselves in the “Body” text box. If Rich-Text is enabled, you should be able to easily control formatting and other text options.
