My work with Doug Engelbart focused on augmenting human processes with technology. Even though Doug cared about hypermedia, we focused largely on hypertext. We also were focused more on high-level group processes rather than... well, meetings! We facilitated meetings in very traditional ways — there was an agenda and a facilitator, and the facilitator would try to get the whole group (regardless of size) through the agenda.
- Most folks who self-identify as professional collaboration practitioners focus on meetings. While meetings are important, they are only one potential tool when folks collaborate. I think this overarching emphasis on meetings is problematic. I also think that, while most practitioners are meeting-centric, very few are actually good at designing good meetings, especially as the number and diversity of participants grow and the problems get more complex. --Eekim (talk) 23:01, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
