This is only about a third or so of the full transcript (which is about 130 pages of typed text, of a 5 day meeting). You can find the pdf online (I haven't read it all so I can't comment): http://www.google.com/search?q=raidersstoryconferencetranscr...

Ah, Lucas, if only he read this every time he made a sequel:
"It's a spaghetti western, only it takes place in the thirties. Or it's James Bond and it takes place in the thirties. Except James Bond tends to get a little outrageous at times. We're going to take the unrealistic side of it off, and make it more like the Clint Eastwood westerns. The thing with this is, we want to make a very believable character."

I've only read about a third of this, but it strikes me as considerably more productive than most of the product/business design meetings I've been a part of.
Interesting to see how other industries build their ideas.

It probably helps that there are just three guys here, and that they have by this point already worked together very successfully on The Empire Strikes Back, which was a large, long, and very similar project. So there's an unusual amount of trust and know-how in this room.
