+[[!meta title="Harvesting Q&A"]]
+[[!meta copyright="Copyright © 2021, 2022 Sacha Chua"]]
+
+During the harvesting phase of the conference, we work on collecting
+the ideas that people shared in the Q&A sessions as well as any talks
+that were not available as pre-recorded videos. It's a great way to
+help speakers get stuff out of their heads and into a form we can all
+learn from. Here's a process for doing so.
+
+# Add chapter markers
+
+Chapter markers make it easier for people to jump to the part of the
+Q&A that they're interested in. You can see an example of chapter
+headings in the
+[Q&A for asmblox](https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/asmblox/). You can
+make a text file with the hh:mm:ss or mm:ss timestamps and the chapter
+headings.
+
+    00:00 Introduction
+    01:12 Why did you choose an internal state versus many 'state buffers'?
+    02:10 Do you have plans to port shenzhen.io to Emacs?
+    02:29 Did this use WASM?
+    02:59 Why wasm rather than a more traditional Assembly dialect? It wouldn't be harder to implement, right?
+    05:08 Any next projects on your mind?
+    05:52 Does this work with any other paren-based editing packages?
+    06:46 What kind of tool could use this idea?
+    07:56 How did you go about designing the puzzles?
+    08:39 What are your favorite changes in the upcoming Emacs 29?
+    09:07 Are there tools to add more puzzles?
+
+If you're not sure how something is spelled, you can look at the list
+of questions asked during the Q&A sessions by going to the wiki page
+for the talk (see the links from [[/2022/talks]]), or indicating it
+with `??`.
+
+Alternatively, you can edit the VTT file (`--bbb-webcams.vtt`) and add
+NOTE comments with the chapter headings before the subtitles that are
+part of that chapter. If you're using [subed](https://github.com/sachac/subed) to edit subtitles within
+Emacs, you can split the subtitle as needed with `M-.`
+(`subed-split-subtitle`) so that the subtitle starts with the
+question. You don't have to worry about getting the timestamps exact,
+as we can re-align them with `M-x subed-align`. Here's what that NOTE
+comment can look like:
+
+    NOTE Why did you choose an internal state versus many 'state buffers'?
+    
+    00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:16.039
+    Okay. So, the first question is why did you choose an internal state
+
+These can then be extracted with
+`emacsconf-subed-make-chapter-file-based-on-comments` from [emacsconf-subed.el](https://git.emacsconf.org/emacsconf-el/tree/emacsconf-subed.el)
+and included in our publishing workflow.
+
+# Edit the transcript
+
+If you want to make it even easier for people to learn from the Q&A,
+you can edit the transcript so that it can also be published on the
+wiki page. See [[Captioning tips|captioning]].
+
+EmacsConf 2022 status update: asmblox, async, buttons, dbus, detached,
+eshell all have large-model Whisper transcripts. The rest have
+small-model Whisper transcripts that might need lots of extra editing,
+so you can either use them just for chapter markers, wait for the
+better transcripts (ETA Dec 15 or so), or work with the ones made with
+a small model.
