Claim:
A system, comprising: one or more processors; and memory, coupled to the one or more processors, to store: an indicator component that selectively cross-references a meeting to a unique identifier; a meeting repository that indexes content associated with the meeting based on the unique identifier; a presentation component that selectively outputs the indexed content to two or more entities, whereby the two or more entities view similar content; a cross-reference module that associates the meeting with one or more other meetings based on an association between the indexed content of the meeting and related content from the one or more other meetings and enables the two or more entities to identify additional resources associated with the indexed content and the related content; and an assignment generation component that: automatically sends, during the meeting and to a particular one of the two or more entities, a message describing an action item relating to the indexed content when the action item is assigned to that particular entity, wherein the action item is to be completed by a certain date in order to implement one or more sub-components associated with the action item; tracks the action item for completion, reassignment, and other scheduled actions to maintain implementation of the action item; determines that the action item is behind schedule or should be reassigned; and is configured to modify a due date associated with the action item, reassign the action item to a different entity, and provide an environment in which each of the two or more entities monitors completion of the action item.
