CommunicationSystems

Communication is essential to this project. Developing and implementing unique, modern methods will dramatically further our goals. Below are some ideas on this topic. Feel free to comment on the [discussion page]. Parent: CommunitySupport

Community Discussion:

• story submissions on main site inviting discussion on an issue
• Consider.it is a powerful system for discussion on specific issues examaming pros and cons (try a Demo) (drag and drop "pros" and "cons" into your "opinion")
  • (uses JavaScript, but they are looking for organizations to pilot with)

Community Polling:

• proprietary email voting system: Audioguy's Notes on his system
  • ProposedSolutionForTheCommunityPoll
• archived ideas: Communication:Voting
• IRC:exec#Proposed_IRC_voting_system

Staff Communication:

• owncloud is a self-hosted cloud system with GDocs-style collaborrative editing
• Trac or redmine (a Trac fork using Ruby on Rails)
• InterTwinkles uses JavaScript but looks incredibly powerful
