This is a place to experiment with the new Loomio feature "multi-proposals"

Following on from an answer I got in this thread
https://www.loomio.org/d/lZJ1nG9R/multi-proposal-at-the-same-time-
Nati Lombardo from Loomio offered to enable the new beta version of "multi proposals" for a group, so we can experiment with it... and I took the liberty of suggesting this group as a place we might experiment with it, as it is a "Neutral space"... I hope that's OK!?

So, I'll open a proposal and if someone else would like to open another one, perhaps we can see if this new functionality is useful for making decisions when there are competing proposals...

@olisb please feel free! (This space is basically dead, IMO.)

This space is basically dead, IMO.

Clarification: by "dead", that is according to its original purpose. So good to have new life!

ok thanks @lynnfoster will do...
Although having just looked at the Decision Tools (top right) I am not entirely sure which of these relates to the new "multi-proposals" feature, so I have asked Rob at Enspiral...
If you can work it out please post one and I will post a competing proposal
best

It looks like "Multi proposals" are working fine to me. I like this new feature because it should enable groups to put forward many ideas and see which one is the best proposal. What do you all think?

@olisb I tried a proposal.... unchecked to notify people, no need to spam everyone here.

Experimenting with multi-proposals could be fun for some folks. I personally believe that Loomio's simple discussion format-- i.e., one sequential stream of comments per topic-- is poorly suited for considering multiple proposals in the same topic at the same time.

I've expressed this in the relevant Loomio Community thread, and also indicated that I'd love to hear if anyone effectively uses a decision-making workflow with multiple proposals per topic.
