Community Garden: a project walkthrough
Follow how a community garden idea moves through ONPF. These slides describe the workflow using public example themes; they contain no private participant responses or internal owner rationale.
01 / Start
Start with a local idea
Create a program workspace, describe the community purpose and local context, then select the relevant activity modules. Assign decision owners, facilitators, and viewers by project.
02 / Ask
Invite several perspectives
Review the initial inquiry questions, issue a frozen batch, and invite the people who should answer. Responses can be entered online, from paper, or after a meeting. The original response and later corrections remain traceable.
03 / Refine
Turn input into proposals
Find and group responses, select source evidence, and write or request an editable proposal draft. Saving a proposal records its source links. A generated draft stays unsaved until a person reviews and saves it.
04 / Clarify
Ask again when details are missing
Issue a numbered clarification round after proposals, after decisions, or during document review. Each question keeps its source and reason. Answers and explicit deferrals stay in the project record; later rounds can follow.
05 / Decide
Owners make design choices
Decision owners review linked proposal evidence and record an outcome and rationale. The evidence can be reused without selecting the same responses again. Recording a decision does not approve documents or verify site permission.
06 / Draft
Build the document set
Draft the program overview, delivery and volunteer guides, resource budget, reusable session plan, feedback tools, and adoption guide. Create additional recipe cards, pantry posters, or other media from templates and attach existing files when useful. Unknown costs and unresolved operating details remain labeled for review.
07 / Review
Check the exact version
Review response coverage, public wording, selected materials, and separate operating-permission evidence. Owners can prepare an exact-content candidate and explicitly approve it. Design approval never stands in for permission to operate.
08 / Share
Publish a reusable public copy
An owner can review and publish a frozen public project version with its real approval and operating status. Visitors can browse public documents, print them, or download an editable package. Private input and permission attachments are excluded.
09 / Your project
Request a workspace of your own
Tell the administrator about the program or project you want to develop. The request type is selected for you, and you can edit the form before choosing Send.
