Loomio

Loomio is <a href="/facts/Decision-making_software/zsmIkzK6">decision-making software</a> and web service designed to assist groups with collaborative, consensus-focused decision-making processes. It is a <a href="/facts/Free_software/IaoVtJXn">free software</a> web application, where users can initiate discussions and put up proposals. As the discussions progress to initiating a proposal, the group receives feedback through an updatable <a href="/facts/Pie_chart/SmWhvWpM">pie chart</a> or other data visualizations. Loomio is basically a web based forum (has optional email delivery interface) with tools to facilitate conversations and decision making processes from starting and holding conversations to reaching outcome.
Loomio was built by a small core group of developers, based out of <a href="/facts/Wellington/tX6IT5oj">Wellington, New Zealand</a>. Most of the work was made by this core group but more than 70 contributors from around the world participated occasionally with small contribution.
In 2014, Loomio raised over $100,000 via a <a href="/facts/Crowdfunding/u9gwrlYI">Crowdfunding</a> effort to develop Loomio 1.0. The Loomio web interface supports mobile access and other enhancements. As of 2016, Loomio was used in more than 100 countries, with the software being translated into 35 languages.
