Online decision making tools and projects:
 
* Weighted Decision  -  http://www.weighteddecision.com
 
An editable weighted decision matrix with templates set up for several decision making scenarios.  Chat facility for group discussion.
 
 
* The [[Decider]] - http://labs.riseup.net
 
A very simple site that helps groups to make decisions online. It enables the creation of “issues” (e.g. how should we spend this £1000?) and “options” (e.g. i) go on holiday ii) put it in a saving account iii) other). Users can then vote on how good they think each option is and/ or create a new option.
 
 
* [[VoSnap]] - http://vosnap.com
 
VoSnap allows you to rapidly solicit the opinion of your social or business networks. Working seamlessly with SMS and email their system allows you to solicit a vote in a snap.
 
 
* [[Smartocracy]] - http://smartocracy.net/
 
Smartocracy is an experiment in "augmented democracy", a meritocratic social network for collective decision-making. Each participant gets 10 votes to give away, and gets to exercise those votes given to them.
 
Smartocracy is a dead-simple social network, where a link from User A to User B is effectively a "proxy assignment" of one vote. In giving User B a proxy, User A is designating them as someone they trust to make good decisions.
 
The idea is to combine the best of direct and representative democracy and creates a true meritocracy where merit is decided at the individual level, but aggregated for collective use. See also, Liquid Democracy links under Further Reading
 
 
* [[DemoEx]] - http://demoex.net/eng
 
The “Democracy Experiment”, DemoEx is Direct Democracy Political Party in Sweden that enables members to propose and vote on policies. Your Party http://www.yourparty.org was a similar effort in the UK back in 2004 (although the law here means members cannot dictate how their councillor or MP, if elected, votes - and the site is now down). Mikael Nordfors (author of Democracy 2.1, see Further Reading below) was involved with this project but they eventually adopted a non-delegative voting system.
 
 
* [[Gnuvernment]] – http://decisions.gnuvernment.org / Drupal Decisions Module - http://drupal.org/project/decisions
 
Decisions is a replacement for poll.module and provides advanced voting systems and decision-making tools. It aims to enable groups to take decisions online in a manner that replicates and augments what is possible in face-to-face meeting.
 
However, the advpoll has seen much more development over the last year and is currently recommended over this module.
 
The project website is hosted at http://decisions.gnuvernment.org and the module is sponsored in part by http://koumbit.org
