Checklist / To do list

Is the loomio way of doing this by creating a check poll for each item? We had 20 or so action points and wanted to keep track of when they were done.

I personally would love a project-management style task assignment and tracking system within Loomio.

Thanks for writing this up. I'd encourage people to keep discussing and work towards agreeing on a common minimal feature set.

i guess for me its a item that has a:

• a description

• a user (or none assigned)

• a due date (or none)

• and a completed status (boolean)

and then an ability to aggregate these at the top of a thread or over a group.

That looks right to me.

And... thinking this out..

Tasks are added to threads, under the context.

They can be dragged and dropped to reorder. Numbered 1 through n.

If someone adds a task, edits a task, deletes a task, are there entries in the thread about this happening? IE: Same rules as with edit context/poll, that you can choose if/to notify people, optionally include a message.

'Assign task' is somewhere alongside start proposal/poll (we might have to rearrange and simplify all that)

When the due date arrives, the author and assignee get a notification

Do we display (9/10) next to the poll title or anything to indicate completion of tasks

Can you see all tasks in the group, or happy to see them thread by thread

Can more than one person be assigned a task?

Do you need to drag tasks between different lists?

• What about just doing this.. @Matthew Cropp?

• What is the 1 key difference that would add so much more value

• Over making a checklist within the rich text editor @Nikolai?

• I don't mean to be antagonistic, I just want to really understand it.

For me the one key difference to the existing checklist is: I can't check off any of your items in the checklist, only you can. When you do complete an item you can't just click "completed", you need to edit the comment and then "complete" it.

I'd start with something as simple as anyone in the group can check (or uncheck) with no deadlines and simply storing the boolean "completed".

Have you used Gitlab? They have a checklist where there is a clear record of who completed a check. I'm picking Gitlab as I'm a ruby dev and it's mainly ruby and Vue.js also.

Defintely agree with this assessment, and the gitlab example.

So helpful, thanks.

Click to update checklists, without edit step - yea I forgot we needed to do that!

Interesting idea to allow other people to edit your comments.

For me allowing others to complete items on a checklist isn't the same as allowing them to edit my comment. To me, editing would be changing the text of the checklist, completing it off is a different action. In the same way completing a poll isn't seen as allowing others to edit the poll.

Our group is small, voluntary and mostly older people who don't get the techie stuff, so the simpler the solution the better.

For my purposes it would be best to allow everyone to edit the checklist. Is that an option already? No-one will want to be assigned an item and not be able to change it themselves.

We use a thread to keep the zoom meeting link for a meeting, the agenda as a proposal and then the minutes as a proposal as well. We'd like to use this checklist to record actions from the meeting.

Thanks Adam!

• Here is my action @Adam H.

• I will assign you this task and you will do it because you can't change it @Rob Guthrie

OK we can certainly live with the checklist in the meantime. In fact I prefer the enforcement aspects to it 😉

Keeping it at the top with the context would be great. In fact just as you said.
