I'm now running the development for the General Assembly. I sift through the ideas to improve the GA on the tech side and triage them for admin to implement.
This thread is not meant for back and forth discussion debating the merits of any given idea - each idea should have its own thread in technical, this thread is meant to provide me with a central repository of ideas that I can work off of.
Before we go any further, I want to make clear that the Bad Faith standard is being imposed in this thread. You are expected to post in good faith. If your post is in bad faith, it will be removed. In particular, the following is not welcome - questioning why I'm running it (I am, deal with it), dismissing this all as a waste of time, sniping between players, taking me listing any idea below as "under consideration" as a sign that I (or the rest of the staff) are hell-bent on destroying the GA, etc. Don't pick a fight here, you'll lose.
The purpose of this thread is to gather views on:
1) What the current issues are within the General Assembly.
2) Brief suggestions on what tech changes can be made to address them - I would prefer links to existing threads. If an idea doesn't have a thread, make one and link it here.
Keep your posts brief - they should follow the following simple format: tell me what the issue is, tell me what your solution is, link me to the thread where I can find a detailed discussion.
Current list of ideas under consideration (in no particular order):
Hard coding co-authors(Implemented!)
- Improving the At-Vote page with additional information
- Improving GA campaigning (anyone have a good thread for this?)
- Saving failed GA resolutions
- Industry reform (I welcome thread examples)
- GA Reset
- Remove Compliance telegrams/allow opt out
- Allow voters to abstain
- Overhaul the WA code to address memory issues
Ideas considered but not currently being pursued
