Regarding Loomio, this was the message I was referring to (at the gathering)

> I have some experience with Loomio (mixed feelings, but they are evolving in a good direction). This type of application would be ideal for implementation as a federated app, as hamishcampbell refers to. PS. I have personal long-term plans that are related to that.
> 
> My preference would be to keep things on this Discourse forum, which offers enough features to be equivalent if not better to Loomio. And it would save yet another tool where we need to spread our attention to.

> Thanks a lot for your insights @calummackervoy, they are very valuable. Reading from the funding topic you spend on: Gatherings (e.g. venue hire) CoTech communication (e.g. stickers) Outreach events Internal tooling Business development Training...

I suppose that now that we have Discourse + Loomio, shifting to use one of them might actually be _more_ effort for us now 😅

EDIT 21/05/2021: the discussion about Loomio has been moved [over here](https://community.coops.tech/t/is-discourse-voting-good-enough-to-replace-loomio/2661/3) and is ongoing
