socialist_planning VS Loomio

Hey!, thanks for the links! I've been in contact with the BlockchainSocialist and the people from GI. They are aware of the project and we might collaborate. As part of the research, I had an interview with Geoffrey Hill from Maplesync (https://maplesync.ca/) and an email exchange with Spyros Samothrakis (He wrote a preprint paper on planning https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.01539.pdf https://github.com/ssamot/socialist_planning). I also had some youtube comments exchanges with Paul Cockshott but I didn't contact him via e-mail yet (I do have his e-mail). Ideally, I think we should unite forces and build something bigger. I posted this project also in cryptoleftists discord channel but not in Reddit, so I'll. Now, I didn't know about that Brazilian University Instituto de Estudos Avançados da USP. Sounds interesting. I'll try to contact them as well. Thanks!

A few more truly in the vibe of open source projects not advertising their hosting providers: https://plane.so/ , https://element.io/ , https://www.loomio.com/ , https://zulip.com/ , and it keeps going... Very few open source projects, in the FOSS sense, are advertising their hosting provider.

Loomio [https://www.loomio.com/] would be a great forum, cooperative decision making tool for running such a group. The next step would be building out any tools that are not covered by loomio and the likes.

I understand that reaction. If you look into it, you'll see that they collaboratively decide how to use group resources with consensus-based decision making, and tools like Loomio.

Loomio does have a few other options (including score voting and ranked choice)

I would say that without the legal aspects, any transparency will still be missing a way to be accountable. But you can take a look at coop models. Also check out https://www.loomio.com/, https://cobudget.com/ and the coops that build it https://www.loomio.coop/, https://www.enspiral.com/.
