A different group structure in Loomio Closed Sat 15 Sep 2012 11:56PM

The proposal is that the existing group structure
- Diaspora Community
-- Documentation Team
-- diasporaproject.org
-- Developer Proposals
etc.

is replaces by the following group structure
- Diaspora Developer
- Diaspora Documentation
- Diaspora Governance
- Diasporaproject.org

and each group should decide their sub structure (sub-groups).

Main argument: For the moment Loomio only use a two-level-structure, but we are not taking advantage of the top level.

That just leads to smaller groups and with that to decisions made on smaller bases. With the current structure I can easily discover what's there.

I see it as necessary, flat structures are nice when the community (and the content) is a small, but very soon it needs structure (more levels in this case).

While I don't think we should immediately do this, I think providing more structure by organizing things into subgroups will be a good idea once we have more people here on Loom.io

Not sure, the volume of activity is already pretty high, maybe splitting it up would be good if we're expected to see even more growth. OTOH I'd really like to stay informed without having to sift through multiple groups...

I could see this being useful in the future, but perhaps it's a bit early to shift the existing groups around.

Actually, upon thinking about it: subgroups are useful because they're linked together to the parent group. Splitting them off may not be the best idea right now, as it might cause members to miss out.

I don't know if we should use groups or subgroups, but we certainly need an organization..
