Hi @sharmarval & @seigorobinson
Thanks for the work and the polls. But I feel a little bit lost, maybe I am not smart enough. But it is probably good to explain it also for others. Always provide context.
###1. Vision vs. Mission?
What is the difference between a vision statement and a mission statement? What do we need it for? I could not explain any of those and be sure we are on the same page. So this means it is not documented (presented) well.
###2. Unclear Options By Loomio
When I click on the Loomio I get this view:
Maybe Loomio is broken just in my browsers. But there was no chance to expand the text and read it. The only chance I have is to click on the document where you created the choices. The document is messy to an outsider and I can never be sure which of the options have made it into the final selection.
The only chance I had is to click on „see results“. And when I wanted to add a comment… there was not enough space to make my point.
I still don’t really understand why we switched to Loomio? Loomio is in every detail worse than our forum. The only thing it has that our forum does not have is that you can vote. But I would strongly suggest that we have all the discussions and polls always represented here on our forum. And then just for the Poll part move over to Loomio.
###3. Communicate ?
And this brings me right to problem Nr. 3. You suggest that we communicate on Twitter etc. what we are doing right now. But how? What link to share? If I am lost between all the external documents on Google drive, threads in Loomio, threads here… No outsider will ever have the chance to pick any of this up nor will it look good from the outside.
Is the bottom – some comment – under some BoST call the right place to share the links to two ground laying important polls? Presented without any easy summary of context?
Could we have a topic (please a topic!) that pulls all the strings of the current redefinment process together? Then we have a chance to invite ppl. from the outside world. Maybe something like this.

##Workflow Diagnostics, Documentation & Toolchain Debate
All of this made me realize we really need a workflow, documentation and tool chain debate. So I started it here with a statement:
and added it also to the Agenda of the next BoST call
