What is it?

Loomio is a self-hostable web application for making decisions together. It gives a group one place to share context, discuss a proposal, collect input, vote, and record the outcome, so decisions do not get scattered across email and chat threads.

It is aimed at groups such as cooperatives, nonprofits, boards, unions, community organizations, and distributed teams that need decisions to be transparent and easy to revisit. Every discussion, reason, and result stays together, producing a searchable record of what was decided and why.

Besides the hosted service at loomio.com, the project documents how to set up your own Loomio server and how to configure a development environment.
