The Open Organization Maturity Model

I Ilja Public Seen by 23

In the lab of 26/08/2017 it was decided to start a project to help asses the «openness» of the pirate party BE using The Open Organization Maturity Model. This thread is here to share ideas and discuss about this project.

I've 'rearranged' the file into something that looks a bit more like a questionnaire[1] :)
Under 'Inclusivity', I had to merge the 4th and 5th point of level 2, for the rest there was a very clear 1 to 1 relationship between the several levels.

On the wiki Limesurey and Framadate are mentioned as possible tools to create an automated survey. I'll check them out, if anybody has any other idea's (preferably libre), do let us know!

Hmm... Framadate (which is basically OpenSondage) only does polls (one question max), while we need surveys. Limesurvey is open source, but I don't immediately find anything that is free in price. There appears to be a package for Yunohost though[1], but when I try to install, the installation fails… :( On github I already see two issues from people that had issues installing. There are other gratis tools, but I'd rather waitwith using those until we have tried the survey manually.

We may have to try Tellform, a FOSS version of Typeform.com

I tried Framaforms a bit, but I'm afraid it's too buggy :(

I've took the liberty to invite people to help on translation through the Babel sub group.

Some details about Framaforms : the edition of the form is very difficult because of bugs. For instance, if I want to give several time the same title "In my organization" to groups of radio buttons, the software will give the same ID "in_my_organization". Thus, when I save the form, only one group of radio buttons is kept, which can be very frustrating >.< If I try to change those IDs manually, I can't unless I try some tricks...

Anyways, here is the result (for transparency) : https://framaforms.org/open-organization-maturity-model-1503955871

Also, I'm wondering two things:
* Are the different "questions" mandatory or optional ?
* Wouldn't be better to start each group with a common sentence (e.g. "Materials that are part of decision-making practices..."), so that you don't repeat the sentence three times ?

  • Wouldn't be better to start each group with a common sentence (e.g. "Materials that are part of decision-making practices..."), so that you don't repeat the sentence three times ?

Yes it would be really better and easier to answer because it splits the common content and gives more attention to the difference between Level 1, 2 and 3.

It can help the reader to better «feel» the difference about «something» regarding Transparency for instance.

  • Are the different "questions" mandatory or optional ?

If we consider the whole document as a single form, those questions about Transparency, Inclusivity, Adaptability, Collaboration, Community can represent a «big questionnaire» and may suggest that the questions are not mandatory to «jump» to something else without being stuck in a required field.

Then it makes me think ... that it would be better to consider 5 questionnaires regarding the 5 topics of «openness» (Transparency, Inclusivity, Adaptability, Collaboration, Community). This can help to treat them as different aspects about an organization, a crew or a project (squad) if we consider the pirates.

And does it work then eventually? Otherwise, the Tellform Thierry suggested also seems quite nice :o
I've also been thinking, I don't know how exactly you can see the results, but maybe asking what group you are filling the form in for might be a good start question as well :)
I think I'll play with the forms a bit(this week or this weekend I think) to see and feel their behaviour :)

Hah :D, I didn't see the 'see more' button, so in reply to the rest of the post :p

The questions really talk about sepperate things, so I would think optional? Although we'll have to figure out how to interpret the results then... I hadn't actually tought about this before :/

The common sentence part would indeed be better ^ I'll change it in the .odt file (sometime this week or so)
