Create narrative & contextual layer
Introduce a section for narrative Stories, linking Rules with narrative experiences of groups.
H/t Richard Bartlett: https://www.loomio.org/d/CxAs5yh9/microsolidarity-communityrule/8
Options:
- Could storytelling be invited and integrated in the "Explain" layer of Modules? Or does it need to be distinct from the functional layer? It could be:
- "Explain how XXX works"
- "Is there a story or reasoning about its importance to the community?"
- Consider the example of wampum: "Wampum was a contract, but it was inseparable from the oratory structure of negotiating contracts, which was also meant to protect and communicate the shared values of your community. It was a record of an agreement that had been reached through the process of storytelling as communication. Wampum is a process of encoding abstract agreements — stories are literally woven into the material."
- Could embed stories in modules alongside the descriptions as another kind of metadata
- Needs to be something users will themselves find value in contributing
- A best-practices discussion forum?
- Integrate story-writing into the authorship process more directly, as annotations
- Attach discussions to a particular Rule by ID number
- Gamify the number of likes and comments on the Rule
- Use this to make the Rules more works in progress
- "Issue" logic for complaints and improvement recommendations
- Enable users to become "master rule-makers" with widely liked and discussed rules
