 # Drupal for the Grassroots: Drutopia in the Age of Drupal CMS
 
-Drupal CMS and Drupal Canvas (fka experience builder) are calculated to bring Drupal's power to fast-moving teams who would otherwise not have the time or patience.  Gain the perspective on the promise and pitfalls of this new direction from the team that, more than a decade ago, saw the risk in Drupal's retreat to the enterprise— and maintained the vision of bringing Drupal to people and groups without much money ever since.  In the meantime, Drupal in some ways caught up, parallel to our vision; in many ways surpassed us; and in other ways still has so far to go (as do we).
+Drupal CMS and Drupal Canvas (fka experience builder) are calculated to bring Drupal's power to fast-moving teams who would otherwise not have the time or patience (or perhaps resources) to build with Drupal.  Gain the perspective on the promise and pitfalls of this new direction from the team that, more than a decade ago, saw the risk in Drupal's retreat to the enterprise— and maintained the vision of bringing Drupal to people and groups without much money ever since.  In the meantime, Drupal in some ways caught up, parallel to our vision; in many ways surpassed us; and in other ways still has so far to go (as do we).
 
 The community now recognizes the landscape changed for websites and those who build them.  More and more organizations use SaaS solutions like SquareSpace and Wix, Wordpress continues to outpace Drupal, and Backdrop fills a need for those who feel Drupal grew too complex.  Those with larger budgets and more specialized needs still turn to Drupal.  Yet modern Drupal has a lot to offer groups without big budgets.  Drutopia set out at the dawn of modern Drupal to close the affordability gap for groups that could benefit from Drupal, and has a lot of hard-earned knowledge to share with the new community initiatives.

+# Scaling Community Discussion and Decision-making
+
+## Description
+
+Any libre software, volunteer, or even startup project will have elements of [do-ocracy](http://data.agaric.com/drupal-do-ocracy) (rule of those who do the work) but not all decisions should devolve to implementors. Rather, a basic principle is that decisions should be made by the people who are most affected.
+
+Particularly when a decision strongly affects more than those who carry it out, therefore, we need better ways of making decisions that give everyone their say. This starts by letting people by heard by everyone else. Fortunately, we can scale conversations and decisions in a fair and truly democratic way.
+
+-   Learn why meritocracy ("rule of those with merit") is a completely bogus and harmful concept.
+-   Gain a passing familiarity with various ways decisions are or have been made in Drupal.
+-   Add sociocracy and sortition to your vocabulary and understand how these esoteric concepts can help our community scale.
+-   See how [Visions Unite](https://visionsunite.org/) is putting more democratic decision-making approaches into practice.
+
+The most important things we have to do need to be done together. Giving more power to our communities can help avoid [failure](https://agaric.coop/blog/short-sad-life-wirth-grocery) also. And our work together is most powerful when we make decisions about it together.
+
+
+## Short Description
+
+The most important things we have to do need to be done together.  How we do keep communicating when there are more of us in the relevant "we" than minutes in a day?
