			This is all too complicated for me as a mere mortal. I guess a wysiwyg editor would be asking too much (htmlarea). But I wanted to mention there would seem to be a great tie-in to http://www.hon.ch/Project/HONProjectsPIPS.html, a major project to link health information with a handy consumer experience. There are a number of ongoing projects to create infrastructure, which by leveradging (free/open source) or parallelling might get consumerium off the ground in a useful way.

But keep scope in mind. As one [[troll]] to another, we ask you please do ''not'' edit the [[Main Page]] of the [[Development Wiki]] to focus on end user concerns. Its purpose is not to serve such end users.

If you think it can lay out the overall problem better, go ahead, but we really don't have a separate [[Signal Wiki]] (for signals we are sending out officially) or [[Research Wiki]] (for views we are compiling) yet, which is what you would want to be looking at. And which just doesn't exist yet, we have few [[Consumerium:intermediate page]]s even, and no format for most of them. We're working on it. Please help us.

			:You are quite right that [[Main Page style]] is lacking but there are three different groups to serve, so there must be a [[Main Page User]], [[Main Page Researcher]] and a [[Main Page Developer]], and also a [[Main Page Troll]] possibly for those concerns that are being consistently bounced off those pages.
