Adhocracy: open-source cooperative discourse, delegation and voting software

[davidovitch]

There is not too much information on their home or github page. There's more hints an pointers in the documentation http://adhocracy3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/, but it would be interesting to see some kind of an overview with features, work flows etc.

It seems that they also have an older version running on Python2: https://github.com/liqd/adhocracy, docs: http://adhocracy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Would love to see tools like this and/or others [1][2] come more widespread and commonly used in the democratic decision making process. I am naively hoping it will help engaging more people in the democratic process again in Europe. Transparent democratic discussion and decision making is a hard problem to solve that doesn't scale well in real life. Figuring out how to scale-up the number of participants with the help of tools like this is democracy's only hope for a bright future.

There's a typo in the first word of second paragraph: I think "Adhocarcy" should be "Adhocracy"

[Egregore]

Where is the link to github? I was unable to find the sources from the site.

[davidovitch]

It is right there in the second paragraph on the about page: https://github.com/liqd/adhocracy3

no pics?

Pics or a demo (if the project is functional) is one of the first things a project should do if it wants to gain traction. The fact that this project hasn't (yet), to me is a big factor in predicting this will never gain any traction. Software that doesn't think about end-users fails. Software developers that don't think about end-users from the beginning will fail.
