Example Discussion: Welcome and introduction to Loomio

Welcome to Loomio, a new tool for group decision-making.
By engaging on a topic, discussing various perspectives and information, and addressing any concerns that arise, your group can put their heads together to find the best way forward.
You can use this example discussion to play around with the features of the tool.
To get the ball rolling, Loomio Helper Bot thinks it would be a great idea for your group to take a holiday together. The pie graph on the right shows how your group feels about the proposal. You can have your say by clicking on one of the decision buttons underneath.

We should have a holiday on the moon! Closed Mon 30 Mar 2015 12:04PM
Loomio Helper Bot is really keen for your group to invest in a trip to the moon. Apparently the space-cheese is delicious. But the implications for your carbon footprint are worrying.
Is it a good idea? Loomio Helper Bot wants to know what you think!
If you’re clear about your position, click one of the icons below (hover over the decision buttons for a description of what each one means).
You’ll be prompted to make a short statement about the reason for your decision. This makes it easy to see a summary of what everyone thinks and why. You can change your mind and edit your decision freely until the proposal closes.

Holidays are overrated!

A bigger code snippet
import foo
A = 10

Henry Gomersall Fri 27 Mar 2015 3:47PM
Ach, it's because A=10
isn't it?

Editing is not that great because the window is to narrow, which is understandable as the targeted audience uses smartphones

Henry Gomersall Fri 27 Mar 2015 6:35PM
Yeah, it's frustrating. One usage mode might be to have logical summaries, with links to gists for detailed discussion of the code.

I once was a fan of 'Literate Programming', somehow that reflects what we are trying to do here?

Henry Gomersall Fri 27 Mar 2015 6:45PM
yeah maybe. I've not read it, but I can understand the sentiment I think.
