| This [[wiki]] has been online since March 2003 and the [[past|original mission statement]] was published in April 2002. [[Timeline of Consumerium]] tracks the most prominent changes in our development work. | |
| | |
| Originally the plan was to store information in [[XML]] and rely heavily on systemic checks on data at entry time. Nowerdays the plan has shifted to utilizing [[wiki]]s and peer-review for accuracy.
| |
| | |
| We are aiming to get [[Consumerium Services]] into the shelf front where the purchasing decisions are made, but it looks much more likely that we are going to focus on enabling changing repeat-buy behaviour, so called [[Checkout Consumerium]] where you grab the [[product identification]] information to your cell phone via [[Near Field Communication]] and then touch your home computer to examine alternate consumption choices.

| ==What's going on?==
| |
| It's mostly about some [[POVs|view point disagreements]] and disagreements about various [[ISMs]]. Also opposition for re-introduction of [[Opinion Wiki]] into the total plan of how to make this workable in the real world is heated.
| |
| | |
| Much attention is needed to define the [[Consumerium:Intermediate page types]] to enable [[Consumerium:We|us]] to launch a [[Research Wiki pilot]]. Also [[Simple model for expressing opinions]] (within Research Wiki) should be sanity checked and details scrutinized in the light of usability and software performance.

| [[Research Wiki]] will have an English interface but research in all relevant languages is conducted there in a similar manner as at [http://wikibooks.org Wikibooks]. | | [[Research Wiki]] will have an English interface but research in all relevant languages is conducted there in a similar manner as [http://wikibooks.org Wikibooks]. |
| | |
| Research wiki will be [[troll-friendly]] ie. it allows [[trolling]] by [[troll]][[trolls|(s)]] and is not accessible to external search engines to minimize the possibility of legal challenges such as [[libel]] accusations and to enable [[free circulation of fiction]]. This development wiki has caused some aggravation in [[Wikimedia]] circles due to the numerous [[AWR|Anti Wikipedia Rants]] and we hope to avoid such confrontation in the future.
| |
| | |
| Currently [[research]] is dispersed to multiple sites such as [[Wikipedia]] for generic, encyclopedic information, [[CorpKnowPedia]] for information on corporations and [[Wiktionary]] for translation needs. This is not a problem since all points of research are licensed under [[GFDL]]
| |
| | |
| Note: there is no [[ontological distinction]] between research and opinion: research is the opinion of a researcher. And anyone can be a "researcher". Thus, opinions are indistinguishable from other forms of research - except that one could say "facts are research, and analysis is opinion."
| |
|
| |
|
| There's some question of what to do with [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]]. These are part of "research" but must be clearly marked - maybe awaiting [[answer recommendation]] filters?

| They are often drawn from outside text, maybe via [[corpus import]], e.g.[[campaign]]s for and against some entity: [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]. They may be a piece of [[advertising]] which is clearly promotional.
| |
| | |
| Separating them is unwise. An opinion starts as the lowest-credibility form of research, undergoes [[TIPAESA]] debate, and those who provide it will often be engaged with the [[Lowest Troll]] to determine if the authors or transmitters or republishers are [[funded troll]]s being paid to trash or promote some commercial service. But no one will volunteer to separate "research" from "opinion" and to do so simply creates unaccountable [[sysop power structure]].

| [[Publish Wiki]] will be updated from [[Research Wiki]] and [[Opinion Wiki]] upon approval by some algorithm that probably involves both trusted people and formal algorithms. ''How the approval process works and how it may be reversed is a key question that needs to be solved before we proceed to the [[future]] - see [[answer recommendation]], [[edits, votes and bets]] for some approaches.'' | | [[Publish Wiki]] is updated from research wiki upon approval by designated people.

| An important test of the publish wiki is that it must be able to filter out the opinions the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] can't sanction from the research that it exists to broadcast. That can't be done by simply asking or requiring that contributors "properly" label it! Neutrality is always a fight.

| ==Services==
| |
| [[Features]] and [[Consumerium Services]] outline the services we intend to provide to the [[consumer]]. Feature known as [[Advertisement Video]], which could be in [[3GPP]] format which is playable on today's smartphones, should act as an source of revenue where the [[producer]] is debited a small amount of money for each view of the advertisement. In addition to providing revenue to the project this is an important extra-wiki feature in the sense that it allows for video marketing for small businesses with low volume products.

| ==Hardware==
| |
| Originally the introduction of [[Bluetooth]] sparked the concept of [[Consumerium:Itself|Consumerium Itself]] but the slow adaption and complexity of using Bluetooth has lead us to plan for [[Near Field Communication]] devices to be adapted rapidly to enable [[Checkout Consumerium]] for starters where information is delievered after the purchase has happened and can be examined to affect repeat-buy behaviour.

| ==Hacking==
| |
| We are in need of [[w:PHP|PHP]] coders to implement [[MediaWiki modifications]] needed for smooth operation. Special focus is needed on developing the [[Export-import]] functionality to an adequate level for smooth [[Consumerium maintenance]]. At a later date a dedicated [[Consumer Agent]] may be developed for providing automatic comparisons.

| ==Trolling==
| |
|
| |
| The basic philosophical stance of [[trolling]] is compactly presented in '''[[Trollism]]''' an almost entirely diametrical to that of [[Sysopism]]
| |
|
| |
| Consumerium Development Wiki could humorously be called "the encyclopedia of [[trolling]]" so far has our main [[troll]], [[142.177.X.X]], [[trolling|trolled]] with the help of other [[trolls]], some choosing a maybe shared account, some choosing to remain anonymous identified only by [[IP number]]
| |
|
| |
| Trolls are determined to fight for a [[troll-friendly]] wiki, which given that there are different wikis will be allowed only on [[Research Wiki]]. Trolls are fiercely against [[Sysop vandalism]], [[Sysop vigilantiism]], [[Developer vigilantiism]], [[Sysopism]], [[Sysops]], [[Sysop power structure]]s, [[GodKing]] reliant wiki culture, [[Ad hominem delete]],
| |
| [[Ad hominem revert]], [[Outing]] (usually of [[Troll]]s or [[Trollherd]]s), [[Usurper]]s, [[Groupthink]], [[Spun threat]]s and other [[Framing]], [[Hard security]] such as [[Block IP]] and [[Systematic bias]] in [[Large public wiki]]s resulting from abefore mentioned but often failing to see the necessity of applying [[Ad hominem approval]] since no one has the time to read all that is being written even in this development stage. Trolls also resist [[use real names]] policies systematically.
| |
|
| |
| Trolls are for an unified [[GFDL text corpus]] that is independent of [[GFDL corpus access provider]]s.
