@AlecAaron I created new lists in Trello to try and resolve this.
currently important tasks are posted here, then lost behind more discussion. which makes sense as this is a discussion forum, and not a project management suite. The idea is that as soon as a suggestion you want someone to act on is made, or thought of, it goes into the list. So for example it could be a new card saying ‘review this idea and come to an agreement’ and you’d tag whoever needs to act on this in the card.

I also just re-organised the Action Center which i think makes the site structure easier to understand. sorry it took so long @danyalamriben
@danyalamriben @AlecAaron @NJUX I was thinking about the sign up page Vs sign up when performing an action on the platform.
As a lot of our offering is public activities (or resources with the homelessness map), what I see happening now when we run an activity is that users come, see when and where it is, then leave. There is no need to engage.
One of our primary design goals is to create a participatory community.
With users able to see everything without signing up, I feel the majority of our users will consume rather than engage and participate. Creating a click/browse and move on culture like other social media platforms. For us it is better to have 1000 engaged and pro-active users, than a million visitors/followers.
We want people to ‘do’ rather than applaud
What benefits can be offered for signing up?
The ability to comment?
Ability to save content?
Ability to be alerted for relevant stuff for someone?
These are just off the top of my head.

I just wanted to let everyone know that i’ve set up our/your card in the Action Center where you’ll find a link to this thread, your own Trello board, and a Google drive folder (which i will need to add your emails to before you begin uploading there).
Someone asked for analytics a while back. Google analytics isn’t set up, although it’s quite easy to do. These are our analytics from Cloudflare. Almost none are making an account right now:
I dropped our current planning on the User Profile Page into a Google Doc and added it to Trello.
It’s here. I also added it to the Trello board and linked it in the top of this page.
I have my annotations in there although this is becoming fragmented, very quickly
the problem with linking to that lone document is that i cant zoom out from that doc level view and see the folder that it is nested within. I now have to pull trello up, find the right trello board, and then find the folder level view of the google doc to even know the scope of what we have going on, all tasks stemming from a comment in a discourse thread. You can see why it would hurt people’s brains, and why the temptation is to become distracted with a different task
You can from the action center by clicking on resources, and at the top post of the ‘about’ category for every team in this forum which has links to their folder on Google drive.
In the new design you suggested Trello/kanban would also be at the top of each thread, and I suggest one of the lists in it is for important links which would include the doc, and resources folder.
