Who are to be invited to Loomio?

Can we skip waiting the 3 days and just close the vote and open up the group already? :)

We should post on our diaspora blog: https://joindiaspora.com/posts/4246552

@flaburgan or someone else - want to make a quick post on the blog too?

(or maybe just copy the status message :P - I wrote it but I've no access to the blog)

I'm not convinced this needs publishing on the blog. It's something of interest to people who are already in Diaspora and want to get more involved, so publishing from Diaspora HQ as you've done is the most appropriate thing.

Anyone who gets into Diaspora in the future won't have encountered the sign-up hurdle to Loomio so won't need a blog post to tell them that it's now open.

I'm taking the approach that more communication is better than less. Do you know who reads the blog? What's the purpose of the blog? Sure there was less communication in the past. We should blog about anything that we are passionate about...

@goob I agree with @diaspeu ... more communication means a more active looking organisation.

There's also the danger of providing too much information, bombarding people with things they don't need to know about.

That's why I suggested here that we discuss properly what belongs on the blog (and what doesn't) before we really get going with blogging. It's only a few days since the last blog post, so it's not exactly as though a new post is needed urgently. Let's plan first and post later, rather than the other way around.

If this is agreed to be something that should appear on the blog, it will need writing in a different way from the DHQ post, I think, as it's a different audience (will need an intro to Loomio and why and how we use it). At the moment I'm afraid this isn't something I could take on.

it certainly needs to be reformulated but I think it's a nice thing to point that we are open to discussion and suggestions. So I would vote for a post about that on the blog.

If someone wants to add it on the pad and work on it, ping me here when it will be ready and I will be happy to post it.

Hy there :-)

I've just a 1 or 2 hours ago heard about loomio and this diaspora group the first time. This morning I put a public post about the changes since the last diaspora-update in connection with the notifications. I posted a question, because I wasn't sure if the notification's behavior is just locally (in my browser only) another than before or not. One or two comments later I knew that it had changed globally - so I posted my oppinion and again some comment later somebody said : "Most people of those whom got asked, wanted it this way" So my next question was : "How can that be ? I haven't been asked for anything at all - where is that place ? Where can I tell my oppinion about something in connection with Diaspora ?" Then he gave me the link to loomia. The first I wanted to do : writing a thread an ask about this topicm but I found this one so I write in here - I hope it's ok ?? There were very different oppinions in here about who should be allowed to be here (feels very strange). I'm not in anger or something like this. I came here, because there are some things on Diaspora I'd like to discuss and because I'd like to take part in here as far as I can. I'm not really a developer, but I not so very far away from some technical backgrounds. I know .. or better said : I understand why you think sceptically about to invite everybody, because of much information, because of perhaps angry users who ask huge things in here and so on and so .... but the other side is - in this example I just write my personal oppinion :
users (me) are sitting there and have to realize, that things on Diaspora change. Some things are good and others are not so good - and the first thing in my head is : What a kind of community is it in fact, if so many users write posts about their dislikes and almost nobody sees it ? You know what I mean ? It feels strange and somehow it hurts if not everybody is asked for oppinion about changes and existing features. Again : I just can speak for myself, but I would like to part of it
