    What is the Content Wiki?

    Content Wiki is where facts on products and companies and such will be stored ie. "an encyclopedia of consumption and production"

    Opinions (ie. Campaigns and split articles) go to The Consumerium Exchange

    This page is not for actual content but for developing the syntax and governance of the Content Wiki so we can set one up.


    Wiki software

    To fork or not to fork that is the question. It is natural to presume that the wiki softare will be either:

    1. MediaWiki unmodified
    2. MediaWiki modified
    3. A fork of MediaWiki

    Which one of these alternatives makes sense is an open question


    Wiki Syntax

    If an modified version will be used it makes sense to use many more namespaces to make the wiki more manageable, but on the other hand using standard MediaWiki has many advantages. Using unmodified MediaWiki would just require stricter syntax within the articles


    Governance

    We need a summarum of the currently existing Wiki Governace Practices here and study each one and the resulting model that we will use will likely be a synthesis of numerous existing models


    Other Open Questions
