My pet peeve is projects that don't describe what they do. Thought process while reading: > Loomio is a user-friendly tool for collaborative decision-making: Piqued my interest. > not majority-rules polling, but actually coming up with solutions that work for everyone. Skeptical because it promises to get rid of office politics. I want to know specifics how and why it works. Cold, hard, game-theory and/or economics.

I don't care who you are. Convince me why the product works before I invest more effort. > Now we’re crowdfunding so we can build the real thing: a new tool for truly inclusive decision-making.​ Ah, it doesn't work yet. > Youtube video Sorry, I'm not going to spend an hour of my time when you've already proved yourself a bad steward of the last five minutes. Contrast this to xerophtye's comment: short, punchy explanation how Loomio works.
