same story, kitchen-sinked, move stuff to Talk: when you have a good prototype based on current Main Page

New page

''This page is what appears at http://consumerium.org/wiki as of March 12, 2004. We should move it to another consistent URL, see [[standard wiki URI]].''

The '''Main Page Developer''' appears at http://en.consumerium.org/code/ (''just a suggestion, could redirect to http://en.consumerium.org/wiki/Code:) and is designed to help the [[Consumerium:Developer]] realize [[best cases]]. It should refer to almost everything presently in the [[Development Wiki]].

It will include prominent links to the [[Consumerium:Developer_FAQ]]. It will have short notes to redirect potential [[Consumerium:Researcher]]s to [[Main Page Researcher]], and end users who end up there to [[Main Page Consumer]].

:[[Consumerium buying signal]]s will be very strongly affected by development work, so use of [[watchlist]] or [[related changes]] to review others' work, is required. Developers can't develop their own terminology entirely in silos.
::The [http://consumerium.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Recentchangeslinked&target=Main_Page_Developer Recentchanges to what is linked from this page] should be a reliable guide to keep developers up to date on terminology changes or policy debates. There should be overlap with [http://consumerium.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Recentchangeslinked&target=Main_Page_Researcher researcher concerns] so that issues where they must interact and cooperate are noted early.

Most developers will specialize in some [[terminal device]] or [[database management]] or [[content management]] problem, and probably do not use every [[programming language]] or know all [[wiki code]]. They may be more or less comfortable with [[audio]], [[video]], or [[text message]]s. Accordingly they are quite biased, and should in general not be the source of [[hardware requirement]]s or [[performance requirements]]. That should be up to designers.

They are expected not to interfere with others whose expertise is much greater than theirs in some specific area. It is surprisingly how often developers think that they "know best", when they literally know nothing of constraints of the real world problem. Rather than referring to any [[Consumerium:Sysop]], or wasting precious [[Lowest Troll]] attention, they should help refine the [[Consumerium Process]] when they find they are becoming [[users in conflict]].
