How to use Loomio (Start Here!)

Hey there - this is a thread. Anyone can start one of these. These are for any sort of conversation - most of which takes place in the comments below.

More specifically -- you are currently reading the Context. This is a block of text that everyone can see above the conversation happening below.

It serves two functions:

1. To outline the background information of the thread

2. To summarise where the conversation is at, i.e. key points that have been raised, where consensus appears to be, sticking points, etc. Anyone can update this as the conversation progresses, and the edit history of the context is available if needed.

Anyone can start a thread or post in existing threads. Anyone can also start a subgroup if there is a wider area that might work as an umbrella for other conversations.

Within a thread, you can launch and contribute to Decision Tools - take a look at these up to the right.

To notify a specific person, you can type @ followed by their name. Click the paperclip icon to add attachments.

Finally, if you’ve got questions, you can post below or check the Loomio help manual.
