Multi Proposal at the same time.

CT Chris Taklis Public Seen by 224

It might be better if it's activated to have more than 1 purposal at the same time.

The reason is: you might have 2 nice purposals but you must decide which both of the 2 you like most, and that can happen only if you can have more than 1 purposal live on the same time.

What is your opinion?

I think it'd be great. In my group we've had to resort to voting amongst various proposals on etherpads to then arrive at at final one so we can ratify it in Loomio... while having the discussion at Loomio.

I'm sure this must have been brought up before but, as I envision it, you'd have several different proposals following the same "Yes/no" current model and, then, at the top, a general pie chart displaying the relative results of each.

Yes, this is definitely an issue we need to address. It's just going to require a lot of design and user-testing to get right. Up till now, we've had bigger development priorities to tackle, however, I think within the next month or two we'll be ready to have a proper look at this feature. Which, by the way, I'm super excited about!!

yup - when you get time to address this I think it would be awesome..

Yes, it will be important to test it live. In theory I like it!

I think this is defiantly worth more exploration… Setting up multiple proposals was the first thing I tried to do while testing out loomio.

I was curious to see how loomio might be used for solving creative challenges. And in order to solve creative challenges you typically need a wide rage of different suggestions. Maybe this isn't the decision making process than loomio wants to support but as a creative allowing multiple concepts to develop seems completely natural to me.

If your curious here's some research looking at Parallel Design vs. Iterative Design

@michaeldenton agreed. Proposing multiple concepts and iterating on them simultaneously is quite natural and Loomio needs to eventually support this.

It will happen soon. :) We are going to be thinking about these different types of decisions as we redesign the discussion page this month.

Hi there - totally agree - my hobby group provided the same initial feedback or actually being able to have multi-choice preferences within the proposal, not just a yes, no, maybe - heck no!

Do people think that having multiple choice answers options for Proposals would be useful Closed Fri 30 Aug 2013 11:15AM

Looks like strong desire to have more functionality in flexibility of proposal or a tool leading to a proposal

I would love the functionality to choose and personalise a multi-choice answer for Proposals - i.e. what game world would our gaming group go to next

a) Modern

b) Fantasy

c) etc etc

Cheers

We are studying testing loomio for defining priorities, so multiple choice would be great: users could vote in an existing proposal, or propose new options.
Maybe options could also be merged (and the merges would be voted....)
