Editing Talk:Collating

Do you have a scheme for collating information about mergers and the like in real time?

:Other [[essential projects]] seem to be doing that.  See [[who owns what]] too.

:A wiki-based process gives us some edges in what we tackle, so here the focus is probably on [[service cycle]] and [[comprehensive outcome]] information, so that the real outcome of [[tantallum]], [[diamond]], [[charcoal]], [[cocoa]], [[coffee]], other [[food]] and [[wood]] consumption is known and people can prioritize where to change their habits or buying patterns.  Probably many [[Campaign]]s will be focused on one industry at a time, rather than focusing strictly on a company, though the worst-performing company should usually be targetted as an example, this is tactical.  The strategy is:  know the [[comprehensive outcome]] of everything you buy, apply [[individual buying criteria]] yourself and [[institutional buying criteria]] in [[standard label]]s or [[faction]]s, and don't count on [[corporation]]s to have real ethics.  At least, none that you don't enforce yourself or in concert with others like yourself.

::Originally permanent recording of mergers and such business rearrangements was close to the concept core, but now as we've gone from entry-time-enforced [[XML]] design approach to gradually-negotiated [[Wiki]] design this is does not seem a key issue. The original distinction about being forgiving on individuals ([[body|somebody]]) and unforgetting on corporations ([[not-body]]) --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 13:46, 21 Mar 2004 (EET)
