How are we doing?

We know that the feedback loop for the Ushahidi community is broken.  Help us make some changes to improve:

Current state: Community members give feedback a number of ways:

• skype
• twitter
• forums
• github issues
• facebook
• contact AT ushahidi DOT com
• email core team
• email mailing list
• talk with team at events
• surveys, feedback forms

This is not working for our community. The launch of GitHub Issues is helpful for the technical community members. However, Ushahidi is 90% Everything and 10% technology. If we aim to support our community members, we need to find better ways to share, collaborate and act on feedback. This means transparent, community-driven change. Your input is welcome. The Forums (with a better platform) might help, but only if people's questions are rated and get answered in a timely manner.

Recommended Change: Idea Space for Non-techies

Requirements:

• Easy to use
• Accessible
• Transparent
• Not to technical
• Voting up/down topics
• Include as a tab on community.ushahidi.com

Options:

• Use Stack Overflow (Henry Addo)
• Use Idea Scale (Sentil Prakash Chinnachamy)
• Use the Idea page like map.occupy.net (Heather Leson)
• Update forums.ushahidi.com with different software
