Every sixth person at occupy was cooking up one of these tools, it’s great to see them maturing now.
The problem then is presumably still the problem now: in a primarily analog setting with people of varying levels of mobile-device-ownership and digital literacy, not all the people are excited about using an online tool. And if you only have some of the people participating, it doesn’t matter how good your features are or how smooth your user experience is, it’s still not democratic and using it will alienate some.
Still occupy was what it was, I imagine there are lots of other settings where a digital tool would be welcomed my most or all and could be used to good effect.
