Comparison to Loomio? #902

"Adhocracy is a policy drafting and decision making software for distributed groups and open institutions."

"Loomio is free and open source software for anyone, anywhere, to participate in decisions that affect them."

So Adhocracy is more about creating policy documents, and Loomio is more about collective decision-making, sounds like. Is this the case?

Dear Steve,

thank you very much for your interest in our software adhocracy.

Adhocracy is developed and operated by the non-partisan and non-profit Liquid Democracy e.V. Our goal, as an organisation, is the establishment of a permeable and democratic principle in all political and societal realms leading to a strengthening of societal cooperation and co-decision. We work on ideas and projects, which should make our current day democracy more liquid-like, more transparent, and more flexible. For this goal, we make use of modern media and communication technologies. These technologies, in our eye, enable new forms of communication and interaction, which can be used to strengthen discourse-oriented and democratic participation.

The Liquid Democracy e.V develops adhocracy to support a variety of participation processes. Therefore adhocracy is modular and is used by different kinds of organizations and institutions (e.g. political parties, the german Parliament, NGOs, foundations and so on). With adhocracy it is possible to support simple processes like collecting ideas or geotagging proposals but also more complex processes like collaborative text editing for legislative methods.

As developers of adhocracy we can not compare loomio and adhocracy objectively. For informations about loomio pease contact the loomio team.

For more informations about adhocracy please feel free to contact us anytime or visit liqd.net.

Best regards

Frederik Wegener Liquid Democracy e.V.
