Labels for discussions

Hi @campesino, thanks so much for the suggestions you've made so far. We have a subgroup specifically for feature ideas - would you mind if I moved these suggestion discussions in there?

Thanks @hannahsalmon. For some reason I feel like it's pretty cool that these feature suggestion threads that @campesino has started are perfect examples of threads that would be good to "Label" with "Feature suggestion", rather than move to subgroup (which is the best thing to do right now).

Thanks for the input @campesino!

I'll move the discussion to Feature Ideas :)

This is already in the backlog - feel free to vote it up!

@hannahsalmon @robertguthrie I tried to add @campesino to this subgroup so I could @mention them, but somehow they are not showing on the Loomio Community members list?

Hi @hannahsalmon, better this sub, sorry I didn't look at them, dont even remmember how I arrived in Help.

I'll take the chance to tell you that I am part of a quite large community of people using Loomio right now to participate in the build up process of a new political party in Spain called "Podemos" [we can] which has recently won 5 seats in the European Parliament, against all odds, and is now third or second position in polls, cracking our perennial bipartisanship! Quite an achievement for a political [anti]party which was a month old on the elections and with participatory/direct democracy and radical transparency as its flag.

So far Loomio is being used extensively for internal decision making in most local [territorial] and thematic [sectorial] groups called "círculos" [circles]. If you do a search of the word podemos or circulo in public groups you'll get an idea of how many people are using it, a rough count I just made yielded 4 thousand, but this is growing still, at least until local elections next spring or general elections in autumn2015. This is because the IT Circle has been recommending it for maybe a couple of months already and is spreading. Every now and then I here things people say about it, mostly whether Loomio is suitable or not for what we need and considering other options. The suggestions I made are about the things I found most 'annoying', specially the lack of a system to categorize discussions and fully separate sets of them inside a group. As @robertguthrie suggested, labels could make the subgroup suggestion not needed anymore, or subgroups altogether. Labels for ordering and filtering. For me specially, dont know for others, it would be great also to be able to use a creation-timestamp order, for doing things like what I'm doing in a group I launched to debate and vote the 65 points of the Earth Section of the political program of Podemos for my Agriculture Circle. You'll see they are numbered. Whenever somebody posts something the order is broken.

This 'discussion' on our main group, of which I'm proud, took me a while to make as it serves as an index with links to the 65 points/discussions in the group for voting the Earth Section [would've used a sub in our main group if it didn't mix with the group discussions] The results of the votes for the 65 points will be posted here on each corresponding line in due time.

But Loomio is great even without the features I suggested! I congratulate and thank your team so much for making it possible for us to advance on this extremely exiciting political adventure we are in. I encourage you to keep working on it and listen to users.

Take care of yourselves

ps. The last feature for following is greatly appreciated.

Hi @alanna, the Help subgroup is open so people don't need to be a member of the parent to join the subgroup - I suspect this is why you couldn't find them. But as of a few moments ago, they are @mentionable!

Thank you! great.
