An active agenda tool is provided that may be executed at one or more networked computing devices. Each connected active agenda tool includes functionality for displaying an agenda interface and for maintaining agenda item timers. The agenda interface includes an agenda and various interactive controls. The agenda includes a plurality of editable agenda items, each having a corresponding agenda item timer maintained by the agenda tool for recording time dedicated to that agenda item during the meeting. Collateral content, which may be shared among the network computing devices, can be associated with one or more of the agenda items. Agenda data representing the displayed agenda items is changed each time a displayed agenda item is modified during the meeting. Any changes to the agenda data may be distributed to each of the networked computing devices, so that each connected agenda tool can update its agenda during the meeting.

Disclosed are various embodiments for a documentation system. Documentation topics for publishing in a node are received from a client. Embodiments of the disclosure determine whether the documentation topic has been assigned a topic identifier. Topic identifiers are assigned if the documentation topic has not been assigned a topic identifier and the documentation topic is assigned to at least one node in the documentation system. The documentation topics are stored in a data store and the topic identifiers are transmitted to the client. The topics are then published in at least one node of the documentation system.

Systems and methods for detecting and removing metadata and hidden information from a file. A system can include a review module to identify metadata and hidden information, and a scrubber module for removing the metadata and hidden information from the file. The scrubber module can remove the metadata and hidden information automatically or upon prompting the user. The file can be a file attached to an electronic mail. The file can also be a file uploaded to a server.

Context information surrounding an application program can be inserted into an electronic document in order to increase accuracy and efficiency in note taking. For example, in a meeting scenario where a slide presentation is being displayed, the present invention can automatically insert information relating to the slide presentation into an application program such as a document editing module. Specifically, in this example, the information relating to the slide information can be inserted into the document editing module in one of four different formats: (1) as editable text derived from each slide; (2) an editable image for each slide; (3) a thumbnail image for each slide; (4) a hypertext link to each slide; and (5) any combination thereof.
