Wow, I didn't know MeetingMix was a YC company. We use it at work and it's great. Simple interface, does everything you need and nothing you don't.

Now I feel even better knowing we use it and it's a YC company.

Should that say "There are no documents to send around" instead of "There's no documents to send around"? Not trying to be pedantic, trying to be helpful.
Seems like this is more of feature or a wizard/plugin for a wiki or project workspace than a stand-alone application. But it's a very good idea and a great start on an interesting implementation. The copyright should be 2010 and there should be something on the about page about the founders and why solving this problem is important to them.
It looks good. I couldn't find though any link to printing either the agenda or the minutes. Trial period of 14 days is too short to hook anyone.

We do lots of meetings in my line of work and most minutes will have an action by and deadline.

On the top right of your meeting page are Print and PDF links. When you click the Print link you can customize the output, so you can choose to print the agenda or the minutes, or both. Also, on the bottom of the page is a link to add action items.

I'm happy to follow up more if you have any questions. Just shoot us an email at contact@meetingmix.com.

Thanks!
Often times when (3) ("Estimate the time needed for each agenda topic") fails is because not enough time is budgeted for discussion afterwards. Don't budget 30 minutes for an item if you expect the presentation itself to take 20-25.
The homepage layout looks very similar to Etherpad's.
