Collaborative Proposals

Proposals are the core of the platform. Every user can:

  • Create a proposal with clear objectives, choosing the type:
    • Simple Proposal
    • Collaborative Document
    • Poll
    • Event
  • Contribute by suggesting paragraph edits
  • Propose new voting options
  • Vote on the proposal or poll
  • Discuss and comment on the proposal

Proposals are essential tools to support shared decision-making in a fast and transparent way.

Concorder allows you to quickly create a proposal, share it publicly or with specific groups, and invite community participation.

Users can contribute to the text with suggestions that can be voted on, and participate in structured voting processes. The best contributions can be integrated into the final version by the moderator.

Collaborative Documents

Concorder supports the creation of truly collaborative documents:

  • Each paragraph can be commented on or edited by users
  • Contributions can be voted to evaluate their relevance
  • The text evolves through group participation
  • Voting can be added to approve the final version of the document

This feature is ideal for statutes, regulations, manifestos, or strategic plans.

User Profiles and Groups

Every user has a personal profile page showing:

  • Created or supported proposals
  • Joined groups
  • A contact button to receive messages

Groups allow organizing proposals into thematic or local communities, public or private. Users can create a group directly from the proposal creation interface. The group creator becomes the administrator and can:

  • Manage group member roles (moderator, participant, observer)
  • Add or remove members
  • Set the group as public or private
  • Decide if external users can access group proposals
  • Publish group proposals on the group page

Groups are powerful tools for organizing, coordinating, and facilitating collaborative activities within the platform.

Assemblies and Forums

Each proposal can include a dedicated discussion forum:

  • Open and organized discussions
  • Moderation tools for messages
  • Notifications for new replies
  • Creation of topic-specific threads

This fosters open deliberation and constructive dialogue.

This modular and scalable structure supports complex civic participation frameworks.
