There has been some complaints about [[The Consumerium Exchange]] being a misleading name for the facility, which is about '''experessing opinions and support or the lack of for the expressed opinions''' and I have noted this problem that it does not translate well at all, so I propose a new working title: '''[[Wikinion]]''' with the etymology being quite apparent: '''WIKI''' based articulation of opi'''NION'''s. This is in no way "set in stone" due to that this wiki has arrived at a state of incoherence in other words this is a mess and it's largely due to that we started out without any clue on naming conventions or when to write stuff in one article and when to split it to many articles.

Thinking about this approach I came to the realisation that why not extend the use of wiki beyond just campaign management so that majority of the user interface to The Consumerium Exchange would be wiki based.

Suppose two wikis, I'll call them [[Wikinion]] and [[Wikitent]] as working titles for WIKI for expressing opiNIONs and WIKI for conTENT. And I know, totally silly names, but for the time being.
