Editing Consumerium anticipated rollout

'''See [[Timeline of Consumerium]] for the "real" historical timeline'''

Fall 2003 worked out all basic concepts unique to Consumerium, and in Winter 2004, [[Consumerium:We|we]] started recruiting [[Consumerium developers]] to kick tires and work out more details;  first drafts of [[Consumerium License]] might appear as soon as April.

:Progress as of March 15, 2004 includes [[MediaWiki modifications]] requested, and a start at sketching [[Consumerium Process]] and four user interfaces ([[full web]], [[worn web]], [[print]], [[audio]]/[[headset]]) for delivering [[Consumerium buying signal]];  other [[Consumerium Service access]] outlined and some business strategy potential, e.g. [[friendly retail]], etc..  Good division of function.  By end of March, should be able to start building the [[Consumerium:intermediate page]]s and clearly separating the "three wikis".

Spring 2004 could be devoted to seeking publicity and help kick starting [[self-funding]], get [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] in place

:April should be devoted to getting more participation in each of the three:  some users doing lookup, of some pages probably imported via XML and updated, with some development work going on to see if all the standards can be met.

:May would be a good time to set up the CGO

:June is the last chance before summer to seek funding, maybe from orgs like [[Adbusters]] that are trying to do this but whose [[Greenscan]] has stalled;

Summer 2004 - first [[beta testers]] can test the [[Consumerium buying signal]] in a variety of settings

:[[worn web]] is cut down [[full web]], and [[print]] could work by then too

Fall 2004 - try for deployment on [[retail shelf]] somewhere?  Find some [[friendly retail]]ers to actually do some discussions with, proposals to?

::(''[[Consumerium Prediction Market]] may help keep timelines realistic.'')

::Also, [[Trolls]] [[betting|bet]] one Euro that none of the [[MediaWiki modifications]] will be made by end of May 2004.
