Simple web based tool to convert parts of W3C minutes output into a form that can be dropped into a github issue. No installation needed – this is just a web page.
The output starts by listing actions raised, and resolutions taken. Then an expandable prompt can be opened to reveal the relevant section of the minutes. It's possible to also include a link to the minutes page.
Some groups use a bot to produce similar results. This tool is different in that it works from the published minutes pages – no need to issue commands during the meeting to capture the information. It seems to work ok with minutes pages produced by rrsagent (including v2) and scribejs.
I wrote this tool very quickly, so if you encounter a bug, please suggest a fix (it's very simple code).
-
[optional] Paste the URL of the minutes page into the box with the label
URL of meeting minutes. -
Select the lines you want from the page of minutes, and copy/paste them into the large box on the left.

Copy the highlighted result from the right-hand box, and paste it into a comment box in a GitHub issue.
