Order of operations in creating proposals
Danyl Strype PublicSeen by 37What is the best way to order the proposal creation form, to achieve the best use of proposals as a feature?
Move the Closing Date Field Down Below the Details Field in 'New Proposal'
proposal by Danyl Strype Closed Sat 22 Jun 2013 12:00PM
Aaron will make the change and we can review it when smoke testing the edit proposal features
In the 'New Proposal' dialogue, I propose the 'Close at date' field be moved down below the 'Details' field, This way users can get the task of defining the proposal out of the way, then with a clear head, think about how long the group needs to consider the proposal.
Results
| Results | Option | Votes | % of votes cast | % of eligible voters | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agree | 3 | 100 | 1 |   | |
| Abstain | 0 | 0 | 0 | ||
| Disagree | 0 | 0 | 0 | ||
| Block | 0 | 0 | 0 | ||
| Not voted | 272 | 99 |              |
It's my proposal, so I guess it stands to reason I support it unless someone brings up a valid objection.
Like the idea
Makes sense to me

@richarddbartlett Makes sense. Another addendum, would it make sense for the person who makes the proposal to automatically have their position set to 'yes'?
My only concern with that also applies to the fact that whoever takes the first position potentially pushes the outcome one way or another. When one person says 'yes' and turns the entire pie graph green, or says 'no' and turns it red, does that create a subliminal feeling that taking to a different position is to cut the pie, and divide the group?
I guess I'm wondering if it would be better for all pies to be divided by the number of members in the group, and each person's position only colouring one wedge. The downside is that it might make it feel more like a voting system, which it isn't meant to be, but the upside is it visualises how many people have actually taken a position one a proposal before it closes.
Hey @strypey I am currently re-working this form on the editing the proposal branches so consider it done ;)
100% yes, but only 6% engagement mmmm. I guess its easy enough to put back.
@aaronthornton Sorry, what do you mean by "put back"?
@strypey I think he means if he changes it and then all of the sudden the other 94% of people scream in horror. =P
I'm assuming this won't happen.
Ah, gotcha :) Thanks @aaronthornton.
@richarddbartlett said >> I'd like to do the same to the main view of the proposal: lead with the title and description, and followed by time and author information.<<
How do folks feel about this one?
Also, how do folks feel about the idea of setting the proposing user's position to 'yes'? I think it's safe to assume they wouldn't be the one entering the proposal in that form if they didn't agree with it.
@strypey I've seen several cases where users create a proposal and disagree with it. Or where they create a proposal and don't state their position at all. I don't think it would be wise to automate this.
Yep I've created proposals explicitly to say no to them before :)
[user story experiment] As a user, I'd like to fill in my proposal title, and then the description, and then decide on the closing date, so I can think clearly about the closing date without being distracted by my need to describe my proposal.
