Weird new project super-super draft-y: https://medlabboulder.gitlab.io/democraticmediums/ Anyone want to help?
@ntnsndr Liquid democracy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delegative_democracy
@beau yeah it would go under delegation as an implementation
@ntnsndr Gotcha. Where does consul fit here? Under Consensus?
@beau what is Consul? Do you have a link?
@ntnsndr http://consulproject.org/en/ Very high adoption in some locations; most Barcelonans (?) have an account, iiuc
@ntnsndr
Think @douginamug may be interested in this
Thanks @dazinism I am interested, possibly to the point of collaboration @ntnsndr :)
A concern of mine is DRY (do not repeat). I started a collection of practices that helped a group I was working with some years ago here: https://yunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/YUN/pages/18317679/Modules+for+sustainable+organization (a bit more low-level than the articles you started) and since then I've seen several other collections of tools. I notice that your MkDocs files have no prepended YAML: is it supported?
Would you like to chat?
@dazinism @ntnsndr Answered my own question re. YAML front matter: yes.
https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/writing-your-docs/#yaml-style-meta-data
Which is great, because markdown + YFM (YAML Front Matter) is becoming pretty standard across a range of generators, and I think portability across different apps/views is very important (and I guess you too: we're chatting on Mastodon!)
@douginamug @dazinism Yes, thanks for this! I was actually at first considering Jekyll for this, and it may end up being useful to switch to it, for which YAML would be helpful. I didn't use YAML in these templates so far just because I didn't see the data being useful at this point, especially since mkdocs doesn't support tagging. That may become a problem.
@douginamug @dazinism I'd love to chat! So glad you're interested.
@douginamug BTW, added the yunity directory here, in the interest of solidarity: https://medlabboulder.gitlab.io/democraticmediums/about/resources/
To me the main difference may be that DM is focused on more scalable governance patterns, designed less for small groups and more for large networks.
Looking forward to talking more!
@ntnsndr Nice! I'll think about examples to potentially add.
@mattcropp thoughts on the sortition page? examples you'd want to add? https://medlabboulder.gitlab.io/democraticmediums/mediums/sortition/
