Attending: [[Ivan Minutillo]], [[Mayel de Borniol]], [[Flancian]]
Intros
- Ivan: a user of social.coop but not very active so far
- Previously discussed with [[Eduardo Mercovich]] how social.coop could advance their experiment w.r.t. bonfire
Flacian: a year ago we set up a test instance: http://bonfire.social.coop/
maybe we could use it as Loomio replacement or complement (like the meta space for members to discuss the co-op)?
could use SSO to log in which we have set up (bonfire supports oauth and openid connect)
this would start as a local-users-only instance (without federation turned on) or at least ability to limit polls to members only
the local-only approach would make sense also for the bonfire project
- ‘accepted answer’ which was developed for the open science project (interesting) could also benefit social.coop
- there’s also reactions in the works
-
the [[decision making]] extension would be more sophisticated than polls
- [[ukuvota]]: ukuvota.world, ukuvota.xyz
-
Q: would someone in social.coop be interested in helping build these features together?
- facets: design and ux; coding
- a researcher with experience in the social aspects as well would be great
- last year a group of edumerco’s students worked on the decision making extension for bonfire; they did prototyping based on some user research.
- whoever picks this up could take the above prototype and run with it
- possible action: we could do a call for participators in social.coop.
-
Ivan: one of the policykit devs is in social.coop.
- risottobias@ :)
- Mayel: this could be a from-first-principles project, or the focus could be ‘what is missing/wrong in loomio for social.coop’.
Federation testing is progressing in bonfire, but it’s not considered ready yet, so an internal-only instance is a good fit.
- campfire is now federation-enabled
- using bounties to drive optimization
On the potential dev project
-
[[elixir]] plus [[liveview]]
- [[liveview native]] has os x / ios and soon windows/android targets
- [[graphql]] api
- a pure frontend prototype using tailwind would also help
- extension generator lets people get the right scaffolding
- demo (recent) extension, developed in a few hours: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/content_labelling_in_bonfire/
Bonfire now implements a reddit-like threading model
Next steps:
- Bring up dev possibility with TWG
- Update bonfire.social.coop and set up SSO for it
- Bring up overall project with the OC
- Ask Nathan w.r.t. governance modeling/research aspect
The issue of use/participation mismatch in social.coop has been there since the beginning :)
- Bonfire’s governance tool design is inspired (or more) by [[sociocracy]] and [[ukuvota]]
