Joshua K Writing Effective Meeting Minutes saves you time.
Knowing how to write effective meeting minutes is a very important communication skill in a business. "Minutes" are basic points made and that come about during a meeting. During a meeting, there are points that may come about that need to be remembered, or activities that are assigned to a person to follow out; and many hours are lost trying to re-assemble on who agreed what to do.
In a meeting, there is usually a "minute taker", who has the job of writing down the important fact throughout the meeting, and when the fact was said during the meeting. Usually a secretary has the job as a minute taker, so "you" can interact in the meeting effectively.
Throughout a meeting, there may be a formal or informal meeting minutes. A formal meeting minute is governed by company policy and may be used as a legal document to prove what was said, and when it was said during the meeting. Writing effective meeting minutes is an organizational strategy that keeps a business out of an state of confusion and keeps a business intact after a meeting.

Marcus L's Collaboration With Wikis
If you are looking for an easy way to collaborate documents or need to plan or confer amongst a group of people, a wiki is a good tool to use. A wiki is a website that allows anyone who has access to the site to edit the information the site contains along with any information on interlinked web pages. This is done through the web browser via a text editor. Wikis are often used in creating collaborative web sites, personal note taking, in corporate intranets, and in knowledge management systems. (Wikipedia)
I believe a wiki is a good tool to use to discuss or create documents if multiple people are in different locations and cannot easily meet. A wiki is better than multiple emails or conference calls because the information is contained in one central location. Any changes that are made can be viewed by all as soon as the page is saved.
The most famous wiki has become Wikipedia. However for the workplace, wiki's can be created through Twiki.org and TikiWiki among others.
The following video I have found on YouTube explains how a wiki works and how effective a wiki can be.

Team Name
I think that our team name should involve something with FGCU but I don't like the eagles part. Maybe we should mention something about our involvement in the business field/major.
