Loomio

What's the Loomio Integration you've been dreaming about most?

I had a fun evening last night playing around with Zapier and Loomio, enabled by Loomio's shiny new oauth sign-in features.

I'm excited by the possibilities enabled by this; it'll allow us to tightly integrate with a tonne of different apps in a tonne of different ways, with very little work on our end.

So, what's the integration you've been dreaming about in your group's workflow? Something in the form of "When I do in , should happen in Loomio", or "When I do in Loomio, should happen in "

I'll start off:

When I create a proposal in Loomio, I want an event to show up on my Google Calendar, scheduled for the closing date of that proposal. :zap:

Maybe:

When I submit a Google Form, an update is posted on the Loomio thread or proposal that asked me to fill it in.

I want to be able to use Doodle with Loomio... team collaboration has a lot to do with scheduling, but the Loomio proposal pie is really best suited for decisions not dates.

I want to be able to use XMPP chat. I see it working the same way that the new Diaspora XMPP integration works; a chat interface on a slice on the screen, which can be hidden at will. Unlike Diaspora though, I image that either:
* every Loomio user I am in a group with is automatically added to my chat roster
OR
* (bit more complicated but makes sense) when I am browsing or interacting with a given group, every member of that group becomes active in my chat roster

I also want to see Etherpad integration, so that a pad can be made accessible only to the members of the Loomio group who are using it, or any other Loomio group they approve to have access. Also, that the contents of the pad at the end of an editing session can easily (automatically) become the new text of the context box for the relevant discussion thread.

I dig the 'vote yes on a proposal after filling out a form / reading a thing / clicking a link'.

Can you imagine how a Doogle integration would work, @alanna ?

For the more complex integrations like Etherpad / chat apps, I think the way to go is get a Sandstorm app going, so Loomio can be packaged up with other apps into an ecosystem that you could then apply to your community; would be interesting to get the conversation with the Sandstorm folks going again.

It would work like having a doodle poll instead of a pie chart in a loomio proposal, but the same functionality around deadlines and seeing who has participated.

James Kiesel

Cool. I'm maybe 80% sure it'll be less headache for us to replicate Doodle's functionality in a separate type of poll, rather than integrate with Doodle itself, but that might be the builder in me. Either way that would be an awesome thing to exist.

When I create a user in CiviCRM, I want them added to my Loomio groups.

I want to associate email addresses to groups and subgroups (discourse does this already), so I can start new threads by email.
