The Goal of a RuFi Project

RuFi is a participation and argumentation software. The goal of a RuFi project is therefore the creation of a complete set of rules or a contract, i.e. a collection of practical rules that apply to a group of people and should be followed in order to achieve shared goals. The regulations should be recognized and supported by all affected persons as much as possible. Therefore, they must not appear arbitrary, but must be understandable to everyone, must obviously serve the achievement of the common goals by being derived from the necessity of problems that need to be solved for this purpose.

Editing Workflow: Problem - Rule - Argumentation

Problem, Rule, and Argumentation form a meaningful unit. A rule always refers to a problem. It should prevent the occurrence or the consequences of this problem through a practical instruction.

Arguments serve to analyze precisely this relationship between Problem and Rule. They show, at each aspect of the relationship, to what extent a rule is suitable or unsuitable for solving the problem.
