New Loomio features ready for beta testing

The Loomio dev team is thrilled share that we've been developing some exciting new features and that we're looking for beta testers to help us prepare them for public release.
New decision types
New decision types is a document which introduces our suite of new decision tools including: Dot Vote, Schedule a meeting, Count, Poll and of course Proposal.
Instant Loomio
Instant Loomio means you can share a Loomio decision with people who have never used Loomio before. Participation is quick and easy - there is no signup or passwords to stumble upon, and no loomio groups to join before you get started.
Here's a video James made to demo it
Join the feature testing group.
There is work to do before we can release these features to the public. To help uncover this work, we are looking for groups and individuals willing to help test it.
If you think your group is up for testing the new decision types, or if you are keen to try the instant Loomio features with some understanding people join our Feature testing group.

I think the ASHA centre because it's affordable and I really don't want people to be excluded because of price. Also it's a beautiful space and most of us are UK based... I'd still be up for attending if it's in the other places though

I'm just as likely or unlikely to go wherever it is (unless it's off-planet, I'm getting too old for the G-forces)

Ah man. Dot voting is SO nearly perfect for us. It's already very usable, and a HUGE improvement (yay!) I just literally want multiple proposals to be able to run at the same time, competing against each other, because I want it to be instantly obvious if 1 in 100 people has blocked any of say 5 different competing options.

Thanks for the help in prepping this release. I don't understand your definition of what's missing.. You are currently able to run multiple proposals/polls/dot votes at the same time... Can you explain further?

Generally, awesome improvements. Really makes Loomio step up to a market leader in not just achieving 1 basic function, but becoming useful as a whole collaboration tool/ suite

Wow, Instant Loomio looks great! When I go on https://www.loomio.org/p/new and create a new Count, and vote, it shows "1 out of 0", what does that mean?

These sounds like fantastic features to add to the existing Loomio toolkit. Great work Loomio architects!
