A proposal is a public suggestion on your city's Mundo Lingo page. Others post solutions, the community votes, and the winning plan gets done — with visible credit for whoever delivers. Here's the whole journey:
Jane posts a proposal

The whole rule
of the proposal's votes — what the top solution needs to open the final poll.
unbeaten in the final poll — and the solution wins.
If a rival plan overtakes the leader, the poll restarts around it. That's it — no moderators picking winners, no hidden weighting. Every rule on this page is the whole rule.
What makes a good proposal?
Small and concrete beats big and vague. "Reserve a quieter corner at the Tuesday social" gets solved; "improve the events" doesn’t. Many small proposals, decided often, build the habit of changing things — and your track record of making them happen.
Who decides — moderators or votes?
Votes. No moderator picks winners and no algorithm weighs in. The two rules that decide everything are published right here: a solution needs 40% of the proposal’s votes to reach the final poll, and it wins by staying unbeaten for 12 hours.
Does it cost anything?
No — posting proposals and solutions is free, like everything on Mundo Lingo. Some proposals carry an optional Bitcoin bounty for whoever delivers the winning solution, but most don’t need one. Recognition from your own community goes a surprisingly long way.
