CommonGood is open source software, a webapp that records and manages information from Abundant Communities Initiative (ACI) interviews. Multiple neighbourhoods' data kept separate.
Example: I have a group with the name "civics". It is meant to include answers related to issues "owned" by our city. We've put answers like "reduce speeding" and "pave the back alleys" into civics.
OTOH, we put answers like "clean up the ravine" and "more walkable amenities" into a group named "improving our neighbourhood". While we could look to the city to take the lead on such issues, it is entirely conceivable (and in ACI terms, preferable) that effort on such things start with ourselves.
It would help If each AnswerGroup had a paragraph of text describing the intention, the nuance of the group.
