Re: [Ag Meinungsfindungstool] [MG] Github as THE BEST collaboration platform that has ever existed!

I find github very interesting, and I dream the moment when we can integrate vilfredo as part of github, so that for specific questions a vilfredo question is opened. What I wonder is: how democratic is a system where the only person that can participate in the discussion really (that is with direct independent power) are the programmers who can fork a program?

I don't have an answer, but I wonder...

One example of a current project of mine.
We are "brainstorming" about our "core values and vision" of the "organisation" we are trying to found. I fleshed out the first draft and a contributor is doing an iteration and now we discuss if we should accept the "proposed changes" to the original document or not.

See:
https://github.com/ninabreznik/organisation/commit/e6ebf720676920f5f503f11c309b1fd6a5447ef2?diff=split

All the discussions can be very fine grained and github documents the whole history of every project. A project is some kind of "collection of documents" :-)
I strongly recommend everyone again to join github and try to participate or create projects there and find out for yourself how all this magic works. I think it can inspire future discussions about metagovernment.

Everything I have written above is my personal experience/opinion on things, no matter what kinds of words i did use

Such extreme words only do indicate, that my experience/opinion on something is very strong and i currently cannot imagine that there are other possibilities until new arguments/insights/whatever open my eyes that there are alternative perspectives too :-)
Please do not feel discouraged to challenge my opinion if you have a different one.
