Some of the discussion here is really great, but everyone should keep in mind that this is an experiment and I'm not sure whether it'll be cost-effective to migrate the content from here to the next platform.

RChain should outsource hosting but use X.rchain.coop Closed Fri 23 Mar 2018 3:02AM
Self-hosting looks like a bit of a pain. For $29/month, it looks like 50 of us casen use at least rchain.loomio.org, if not coordinate.rchain.coop or the like. For up to 1000 of us, it's $99/month.

To KISS we could outsource now and get it running/integrated. Then later, when we need more than 50, we reconsider. During that time we can negotiate too, afaik we know people at Loomio. +1 coordinate.rchain.coop

I missed the check poll but am willing to help administer loomio.

The easiest path is to forget oauth an just send invite links members only. We just create a closed group on loomio.org. This has the advantage that it consolidates with other loomies you may be in on loomio.org.

This sounds interesting, but how do we do it? How do we send invite links to members only?
Dan Connolly Thu 22 Mar 2018 7:19PM
Also... as to closed group: I'm all for "only members can write" but firmly against "only members can read." If I can't link to our loomio discussions from elsewhere in the web, search for it with Google, etc., it's much less valuable to me.

Ouch. Loomio gets expensive as we grow if they run it. So we may have to run it ourselves. $149/mo for up 1000 members then we move to our own loomio + $2/user/mo
Dan Connolly Thu 22 Mar 2018 7:22PM
Note the non-profit coupons; e.g. $99/mo rather than $149/mo.
Dan Connolly Thu 22 Mar 2018 7:24PM
And $149 is about one hour of an engineer's time. I think it would take 20 hours or so to get going on self-hosting, so it would take a couple years to break even.

OAuth integration may require that we run loomio ourselves. https://github.com/loomio/loomio-deploy is fairly simple but oauth authentication is not mentioned.
