[Tagging] Replace tagging mailling list with Loomio?

[jgpacker]

As one of the people that evaluated Loomio, I have to say that it actually
would be good enough for replacing the tagging mailing list with
considerable benefits*, with two caveats: (1) it's not too suitable for the
long ramblings and discussions (no paging) that are characteristic of the
tagging mailing list** and (2) it doesn't have tree-style threading. There
was also some (minor) controversy about whether having markdown is good or
bad.

* the benefits being: the like button, ability to edit messages (with public
history), an easier system to handle overall (subscription, configuration,
browsing), ability to formally propose solutions and get votes on it (that's
why Loomio was made for) and other modern features such as setting deadlines
and notifying other users by email

** maybe that's not a problem, and it could succed in the seemingly
impossible task of making the tagging mailing list productive ;-)


In my opinion, the absence of "Like" options in the mailing list is a big
problem, because _most_ people here  don't really participate in the
discussion, but probably would "like" the posts they agree with. This way
new users could actually have an idea of what the majority of the community
actually agrees with.
