Perhaps you should just keep the minutes in a separate temp file and
only copy&paste it to the browser when the meeting's done?

Found this on Stack Overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8849661/is-it-possible-to-autosave-temporary-buffers-that-are-not-visiting-a-file
Apparently, `auto-save-mode` will work with buffers that are not
visiting a file.
Also:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18770669/how-can-i-save-as-in-emacs-without-visiting-the-new-file
For ways to manually write a buffer to a file without visiting it.
