[top-politics] Re: How to improve communication on the list?

  I comment on two "comments, First

  This random theme promotion is NOT GOOD. If we look this group, we can not find one single topic where several members decided to solve one single problem till the moment they succeed in that.

  So, my first reccomendation about this is this procedure:

  1. Articulate the topic 2. Start the topic 3. Invite other members you find would be interested in it 4. All the off topic that suits to that topic on the other themes, move there. 5 If there come out the new questions, articulate them and open new topic or join it to existing topic about it.

  Second recommendation would be finding way of articulation of the procedure of how to get conclusions of the topic and conclusions themselves. Yet, first recommendations is the first thing to do.

  I do not think all who “drop in” understand the goal of TP as topic in eParlement nor how to respond to items. I suggest a "face page “first read” which explains this and basic style to post and respond. People do not involve themselves unless they understand the process. They do not want to appear “stupid” or be flamed.

  The more information on “how to” the more people will be involved. It they are “comfortable” and feel “accepted” they will participate. We non programmers sometimes feel inferior to the makers of these programs.

  So, to enlarge the program, to begin topics, we need to know that is what you want to do.

  Perhaps a “test” by beginning to use for issue discussion?

  Should we begin on “world issues” rather than local so all the world people can become involved? Bruce

    Re[top-politics] Cyber Discuss & Decide

    It seems to me we are fragmented. Discuss on le Parlement? How many discuss on Bulletin Board? Email lists loose subjects so that is not good. I like WDDM Forum, however it seems people do not bother to log in. If a group exists, the people “hash out” talk things over, and from that come up with ideas for improvement of the group. (community, government, country, family etc.)

    Than they present the idea to the group, who further discuss, modify it and perhaps agree on the final outcome.

    Could we do this on leParlement, by introducing a topic (such as this) and than people respond their ideas directly to this topic? Than as we come to final outcome(s) they could be put in a separate topic and voted upon?

    Please respond directly to this post, so we can build ideas and resolutions like we were just discussing this in the “neighborhood”. Bruce

    Re: How to improve communication on the list?

    

    Hi

    I’m afraid the TOP group is rather dead now. Plus it didn’t manage to generate any thing, except interesting conversation on what is transparency.

    Well, to me this was interesting.

    Don’t hesitate to just join on the main http://leparlement.org page, and discuss there. Or any sub forum, even one you can create (simply use a cool subject for it, the url will be generated from that subject).

    There is of course a test forum where anybody can play as they want.
