Traditional, formal, face-to-face meetings are heavily reliant on documents for their conduct. One
of the most prominent and important documents is the agenda. The agenda is vital for structuring and driving
meeting discussion. The development of the agenda relies on contributions of items for discussion from meeting
participants before the meeting. The secretary considers these items for their relevance and potential to achieve
the meeting goal. A formal, electronic meeting, being a computer-supported equivalent of a traditional meeting,
is also dependent on a useful and effective agenda for its success. This research article presents Logan, a Web
Electronic Meeting Document Manager (WEMDM), that provides a novel, hypermedia-based technique for
supporting the above agenda development process. Logan allows asynchronous, collaborative development of
a meeting agenda. High participant involvement is supported through item contribution and secretarius
moderation of contributions. Through a contribution rejection system, moderation supports selection of
appropriate contributions for the agenda. Participants are helped in contributing relevant agenda items or
prevented from contributing one similar to those in the current agenda via rejected contributions. The process
allows flexibility in agenda development as the process may involve one or more iterations. The agenda
development process is covered by displaying the interworking of participant agenda development pages. The
many Web user interfaces used by the secretarius and other participants in agenda development are shown and
described.
