I've started on this, though there are many pieces.  For the first
part, I've split out items if they exist.  If you go to this month's
agenda, at the moment, it will look just like it always has as there
are no discussion items yet:

https://whimsy.apache.org/board/agenda/2018-04-18/

If you go to last month, you will see two discussion items split out separately:

https://whimsy.apache.org/board/agenda/2018-03-21/

At the moment, there is an add minutes button, which will capture the
minutes, but they won't be picked up (yet) by the code that drafts
minutes.  There is no edit item button yet, nor is there an add
discussion item button.  I also need to figure out how to handle
action items, and probably a number of other things I haven't thought
of just yet.

It should now all be working, with the possible exception of action
items captured during a discussion item being added to the next
month's agenda.

I'm also considering updating the parser that produces
https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/ to split out discussion
items.

With this change, discussion items are handled pretty much like
resolutions: first somebody needs to add it to the agenda then it can
be minuted.

If you go to the agenda index page for a given month (for example:
https://whimsy.apache.org/board/agenda/2018-04-18/), there is an add
item button.  If you click it, there are a number of options,
including adding a discussion item.  Discussion items need to have a
title and text.

For the board meeting, I'll just have to ask you how to handle any discussion items that come up.
