1. I’d love to see that. surely, it’s not probable that a funding campaign which uses google forms instead of KickStarter would be better off, right? i think we have concluded this line of thought—i’m skeptical, and you don’t see a reason why not.
Though, again, 150 people attending a LW meeting is far from the type of coordination this site will be for. i’m not blind to the fact we have better coordination tools than going door-to-door and talking to people—i say that the coordination tools we have today aren’t sufficient for more complicated coordination—where there are a lot of people involved, several types of actors, many incentives, etc...
2. maybe you’re right. still, it’s worth a try and a little effort :)
3. that wasn’t my reaction for doing an MVP, but reasoning for a platform being good, and saying that google forms isn’t a platform (more specifically, it isn’t a platform for coordinating action, but a more general platform, so it can’t be trusted as one)
surely, it’s not probable that a funding campaign which uses google forms instead of KickStarter would be better off, right? My point isn’t that Google Forms is more effective then having
That’s moving the goal post. Finished well-engineered products are usually more effective then generalized tools with you can use for an MVP.
That doesn’t mean that the way to proceed isn’t building a MVP before desgining the bigger platform.
Running the MVC gives you a much better idea of what the actual challenges happen to be.

Sure, i agree with you. just not on the right scale/functionality for the MVP.
