Title: Re: [Tagging] Loomio evaluation
Hi,

So, the conclusion of my Loomio test is that it does not let the user choose which Google account it uses during account creation, it uses the connected account and, despite the user cancels the Login operation, Loomio continues to try to use the unwanted account. I tried disconnecting the account and removing the cookies in vain.
I was asked to open a Loomio ticket and, although I'm not here to debug Loomio, I'm helpful and I did.
But no one popped up, ad so, Loomio must be seen as unsupported software.
I could not make actual tests.

We'll definitely need to find a smart and soft way to attract people to a different platform.
However, though I agree that email is not the best tool, we need a very good alternative rather than a marginally better option first.

You should say what you mean when you speak of "e-mail" (not being the best tool).
If you mean that a plain mail server or list server is insufficient, one can agree.
But if you say that the user shouldn't use e-mail, that is wrong.
Users complain about the difficulties of composing wiki text or similar because it's not wysiwyg and because a Web interface is not adequate. E-mail programs are good, basic HTML editors and the best idea is to use that same HTML for both forum articles and wiki pages. The said articles are easily converted to wiki pages, something that should be more often in certain countries.

Personally, I archive the messages I receive in an MAP server that I can access with my e-mail program.
If you add list management functions to that, the more the better, you make an excellent Loomio.
The list servers we use have 2 big shortcomings: 1) limiting message size, 2) considering messages as text with HTML attachment.
They should use a readonly IMAP server.

You seem to consider including an image as an achievement.
There is more than that to support: links, lists, tables, titles etc...

I have copied and pasted to this message the page of the test test you made on Loomio.
Below that, I made a fancier image with the text wrapping to the left, just for show.
Belox that, I copied from the main map the tags of Elisabeth Tower, the one supporting Big Ben.
It contains titles, links, a table and a list.
