Testing and feedback

We are currently asking people to test the basic features of the site to make sure that we are providing the right set of tools.

How to give feedback

There is now a feedback box on every page, so, as you look around, and have an idea, you can quickly type it up and send it to us. We would like you to think about how you could use the features we have provided, and to tell us what we are missing and what we have wrong.

We cannot promise to implement all your ideas, but we will seriously consider everything. One of our main challenges is to make the site as simple to use as possible, and every feature we add has it's price, so, if you can tell us if features we do have are not needed, then that too is very useful information.

How you can assist us with your feedback

To help us test the site, we would like you to attempt the following tasks. This should take you only a few minutes. At any point, please feel free to type up your comments in the box on the left of each page.

Find and join an existing campaign or initiative
Create your own campaign.
Create a new discussion topic in a campaign, and perhaps comment on an existing discussion.
Add a poll to a campaign, and a link if you can think of one.

Some information about how the site works

We have created this site to provide a basic democratic tool. The essential features allow people to define projects (of some kind) and then allow other people to express their support.

We have created two types of "projects", currently called "Issues" and "Initiatives". (The actual names may still need a bit of work, and we would be happy with some suggestions.) In essence however, the difference between the two types of project is as follows: "Issues" are discussions or campaigns which can be created by everyone. , "initiatives" are discussion groups, forums or meetings (which can be virtual as well as face-to-face), the actual way a discussion or consultation takes place.
