Software requirements
From Consumerium R&D Wiki
Software requirements are so constrained by hardware requirements, protocol requirements and (especially) performance requirements that we should avoid choosing any programming language, production wiki code or even chat code until the whole healthy buying infrastructure is much better understood. This starts by understanding the healthy signal infrastructure and its low tolerance for e-waste or volunteer labour.
Some questions to keep in mind as these concepts evolve:
- audio vs. video as primary presentation of Consumerium buying signal
- Text is the default still
- Python vs. Java - consider mobile device and wiki code issues
- response time - is HTTP an acceptable protocol for our purposes? If not, can some similar REST protocol be developed that will be?
- PHP - useful tool or slow script-kiddie fluff?
