A Community-Driven Roadmap: Get Involved in Setting the Development Priorities for Loomio

From day one, we’ve had real people using Loomio to make real decisions, and real world feedback from users has directed development all along. The Loomio Community group is an active, enthusiastic group of supporters and contributors. Whether it’s talking about new feature ideas, exploring best practice for facilitating online collaboration, or collaborating to translate the app into 22 languages, this diverse, global community is invaluable. Those of us on Team Loomio consider ourselves members of the Loomio Community of users and supporters, not apart from it. We recently went back through the entire archive of the Loomio Community group (a treasure trove of over 2 years worth of content) and pulled out a list of all the ideas ever suggested for Loomio. Loomio Roadmap: All Your Ideas & More There are five main lists of cards: Cards will move along from ideas to implemented features, in a public, transparent way.

Wow! Collaborative Decision-Making. What are your top requested features and changes to Loomio? - Loomio Community. An Occupy-Inspired App That Helps Groups Make Actual Group Decisions. If you've ever tried to make a tough decision with a group of people online, then you've most likely done one of two things.

An Occupy-Inspired App That Helps Groups Make Actual Group Decisions

You may have had a discussion over email, in which case the conversation has gotten very messy and it becomes difficult to suss out exactly where everyone stands. Or, you could have tried a poll, which doesn't give the opportunity for re-working proposals based on feedback. Neither of these options really unleashes the creative power of individuals working collaboratively to solve a problem. And there are no existing online tools that really fit the bill. Now a group of New Zealand Occupy Wall Street activists-turned-software developers is trying to remedy the situation with an app called Loomio. Loomio is an open-source app that allows people to propose their own solutions to questions raised by their community. The problem with those hand gestures is that they only really work in person.

Meet Loomio, the small-scale decision-making platform with the biggest ambitions

In the case of democracy, we’ve recently seen how technology can concentrate power through surveillance, but there’s a clear flipside too – social media gives more people a powerful voice, and it’s a lot easier to organize people around an idea these days. But what of decision-making? The Occupy movement provided a great example of social media helping to bring people together, but it struggled to come up with a clear plan. That experience led a bunch of activists down in New Zealand to create a platform called Loomio, which kicked off a crowdfunding campaign this week to fuel the development of a user-friendly product for organizations around the world.
