State 1 (user reports):

• Write raw agenda to string [agenda]
• Write agenda items to dictionary [agenda dict]
• Send "[meeting start msg]"
• Send "Meeting order: [meeting order]"

{For each [user] in [meeting order]}

• Send "Go, [name]!"

• Start timer running for [report time] seconds

• Run until either time is up or [name] sends "fin*" or user in list of [meeting managers] sends "fin."

• If [report warn time] is non-zero and < [report time] and timer is [report warn time] send "[user], [report warn time] seconds left!" (Should print time in minutes, if divisible)

• If [agenda dict] not empty, switch to state 2 else switch to state 3

State 2:
