The first is too short, and the second is too long.

Something with more info than what meetbot provides (3 votes, 2 decisions, jbryce talked 54 times, etc) but more clear than the IRC logs (holy great wall of text, Batman!). Meetbot's summaries are precise, but they have a non-human flavor to them, and they are only as good at the moderator for the meeting. The goal (as I understand it) of having all the meetings in the open is to make the decision-making process transparent and accessible. The current setup meets the letter of the law, but perhaps not the spirit.
