I like Tim’s idea of having IETF Jabber server. 

 

How to use meetecho to do Jabber scribe? 

The meetecho chat is the jabber chat.

If we want to keep the Jabber going, could we not set up our own Jabber server? perhaps tied to the datatracker or something 

more ephemeral ? 

 

( I've lost more than a few jabber accounts in my days, and I did use Hangouts until the googles switched to mutant XMPP.)

 

(Meetecho is very useful also, just saying).

Exactly; you can use MeetEcho to be "on Jabber".

Same, though not so much scribing as professionals such as you :)
