As one of the people that evaluated Loomio, I have to say that it actually would be good enough for replacing the tagging mailing list with considerable benefits*, with two caveats: (1) it's not too suitable for the long ramblings and discussions (no paging) that are characteristic of the tagging mailing list** and (2) it doesn't have tree-style threading. There was also some (minor) controversy about whether having markdown is good or bad.
* the benefits being: the like button, ability to edit messages (with public history), an easier system to handle overall (subscription, configuration, browsing), ability to formally propose solutions and get votes on it (that's why Loomio was made for) and other modern features such as setting deadlines and notifying other users by email ** maybe that's not a problem, and it could succed in the seemingly impossible task of making the tagging mailing list productive ;-) In my opinion, the absence of "Like" options in the mailing list is a big problem, because _most_ people here don't really participate in the discussion, but probably would "like" the posts they agree with. This way new users could actually have an idea of what the majority of the community actually agrees with. -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Replace-tagging-mailling-list-with-Loomio-tp5845672p5845762.html Sent from the Tagging mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
