Please don't confuse "making voices heard", which is generally good,
with "offering them a vote", which is generally problematic if they do
not carry any responsibilities upon which their votes might rely and
especially if they are willing to vote for ideas they don't fully
understand on the basis only of personality or identity. Decisions made
in that way have bad outcomes.
+1 for the above
Sometimes I think, don't make it to to complex. As there number of
people contributing to the discussion oversee able. So maybe some kind
of news article/news board of system; An introduction article [Starting
point] + comment system like this (not sure how it's called);

The starting point can be created by anybody registered. The response
and the voting makes it easier to keep track of important input
(read-up) and what people support or not. For tapping into the general
public I would prefer a a polling system. Some background story [XXX]
What do you think about Community Edition. Great Idea! Not so,
because.. [44 characters or maybe few more to keep it short]. If the
want to give more input they should go you can go to www..
The ultimately decision should me made at the board. The community
tools intended to gather input (and should communicated this way). Note:
still having issues managing the topic flow. The topic evolved more or
less from 'Personal edition' to "Community edition". Where a group
lagging still responded to 'Personal Edition' while I got the feeling
that we moved on already. Another issue is managing people like me,
chaotic thinkers. After the Commodity Edition /Enterprise it started I
to question the Edition (which I initially supported). With next step
objecting against Edition terminology within the current context. And
I'm surely having issues to 'grasp' the positions. What I needs to
clarified.

I believe that it is crucially important to allow as many voices as
possible to be heard, and the consequent monitoring process is
greatly
facilitated by the implementation of a tool such as Decidim so,
together
BoD & Community can decide about the issues that matter to us.
