I challenge you to prove that the tagging mailing list or the OSM forum have significant advantages over this tool in proposal discussions and initial voting.
No, you need to establish Loomeo is better than List or Forum. (OK, anyone can edit thread introduction ? DB)

Looks like it will be free. According to their help:
Money will never be a barrier for people using Loomio to do great stuff in their communities. If your group doesn't have the budget to pay for software, you don't need to pay a subscription. However, we may occasionally ask your group members for a donation.

I do see one trouble here, in comparison to other tools (mailing list, forum, StackExchange): I don't think it is possible to comment on an answer. I can link to it (e.g. this is a link to the comment by Jan). I can also mention a specific person (like @janvanbekkum). But I cannot build a tree structure. Mailing list gives too much freedom. SE limits it to just 2 levels (question and answers and the coments). Here there seems to be just one level—question and "discussion").

I propose to spend a couple of weeks pre-evaluating Loomio Closed Thu 21 Mar 2019 10:02PM
This is a test proposal, to evaluate Loomio's functionality and UX. Please comment and otherwise try to abuse the tool so that we see how it goes.

Loomio seems to be well-implemented dedicated tool for discussions. I think it makes a sense to at least take a closer look at it.

Disagreeing to make the pie look more interesting !
1. If you 'take a position' you get a new page and cannot copy text from previous contributions.
2. Cannot respond to particular contributions, thats sad.

At least doing a test is worth the effort. It looks at least more readable than the mailing list.

yeah why not? no commitment implied, it'd at least help us think through what kind of collaboration support we need

I agree, should be efficient if debats are done in another place and loomio reserved for clear and final argumentation (and vote).

What about pricing? Will Loomio be free of charge for OSM?
