Is there any plans to integrate Loomio into Google hangouts?
Is there any plans to integrate Loomio into Google hangouts?
I was thinking it could be really interesting to try some video meetings with the Loomio tool to assist the facilitation of collaborative decision making.
This need has come from the Groupwork Institute needing to have conference call type training.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Cool idea — maybe the Media Lab would like to help
Google have open-sourced the technology underneath Hangouts: http://www.webrtc.org/
I think this would be a valuable addition to Loomio! Is it being worked on at all?
Not yet @Olover. Perhaps you could start by drawing some mockups?
@robertguthrie would love to, but I have no coding skills or anything like that. Maybe I should learn. In any case, if I can prepare a mockup with an intuitive tool (is Balsamiq something like that?) then I'd be happy to play around with it.
Cool. There are way more coders than designers out there, so it's great if you play around with designs.
I also don't know anything about how to do a mockup or Balsamiq, so any advice is appreciated! I saw on some thread that Balsamiq needed a username and password... if that is even a platform I could use to play with a design.
Hey Olover the internet is full of people learning UI and UX design - just as there is people learning to code. You should start with a few google searches and see what you come up with as a learning plan, if you want to contribute to Loomio. We need help, but right now we need people who have some experience.
@robertguthrie > It would be great if you could point to the User Interface Guidelines and Brand Identity documents for 1.0, because otherwise it would be rather difficult for even a practicing designer to do more than a back of the napkin sketch...
@denjello we don't have such things.
Currently we have a designer who had 30 hours of budget, and now has about 12 hours left.
If we could afford to do that stuff we might.
Anyone who wants to help out with the design should get in touch and we can share the sketch files we're using, they'll need to look at the styles in use and go from there.
@vivienmaidabornloo @benjaminknightloom @richarddbartlett @jonlemmon Any thoughts?
