How many people who hit your landing page actually make it to the end of the 3:56 introductory video?

How does this app scale to really big projects and team sizes? Is it for the 1-3 team size? Or can it work for the 20+ company?

Spelling mistake on the homepage: the red text should read "Open democratic", not "Open democractic"

Thanks. Fixed.

It's still showing up with the error for me.

I'm late to the party but I have been looking for something exactly like this. To make a tool like this to work, I would need to get the team on board, so I'll probably wait a bit for the initial bugs to get worked out, But we'll be a customer...just do regular email updates so I know when to jump in.

An idea for the future might be to somehow tie in with sites like elance or have your own outsourcing program. It'd be nice to be able to manage the internal projects and outsourced projects in one place.

Congrats on launching! I would append this css (for the footer)

  #top-footer .footer-logo {left:-21px;}
  #top-footer h3 {background:none;padding-left:0;}

There is no reason to use bullets (dots) when you use inline lists (#top-footer h3). #top-footer .footer-logo is not aligned with the paragraph below it.

The video “Better Means, Changing the World of Work” on the home page of your website has an incorrect aspect ratio. Everything is slightly horizontally stretched, so the text is wider than normal, all of the people look slightly fat, the proportions of people’s heads change when they tilt them, the Wikipedia logo isn’t circular as it should be, etc. You should fix that; it looks unprofessional.

Thank you. Should be fixed now.

The governance model borrows very heavily from the apache foundation. They use a similar voting / membership mechanism to self-govern. Thousands of devs on dozens of high visibility OSS projects.

So far it's scaled easily for us up to 15 people.
