| I'm in a similar space some of the time, so I thought I'd look for good ideas. Review: * Poor idea -- misses out on issues of motivation, and the soft sides of how people influence each other. * Isn't great for hard side either. Most good arguments are too nuanced for soundbites. * Indeed, it would be interesting to see the argument for Reasonwell (over github and similar) presented in Reasonwell's format, and then used as a discussion for how such a system should be designed. This would be a good first use case, and of similar complexity to most political debates. My claim is it would be difficult or impossible to do this in their format. * The implementation doesn't work (dialog pops up when you try to post a comment, and "okay" doesn't work). * UX is unclear (I couldn't figure out how to start a debate after minutes of trying, or how to search in useful ways, etc.). * System isn't open source/free software. This is important for a tool for democracy. Overall, good ideas were scarce. |
