I've jabber-scribed a number of times, a few suggestions, no requirements for the scribe but things that tend to make the process easier: - as a scribe you may not know all people that step up to the mic, this is not a big problem but it helps if you are clear about it, so signaling you don't know or are not sure gives other people in the jabber room a chance to fill in the name. I tend to use (?) behind a name if i'm not sure and use (??) as the whole 'name' if I don't know at all. Doesn't matter what method is used as long as it's clear. Most importantly for 'new' scribes: it should be clear that you do not need to know everybody by name. - there usually is a lot of side-chat in the jabber room (i tend to do that a lot as well), and most of it does not necessarily needs to find its way back into the real room. As a scribe it helps to be very clear in advance on how to signal to you that someone wants something relayed to the mic; so ask people to put MIC: or something similar in front of messages they want relayed.
