Welcome to Consumerium.org R&D Wiki
Consumerium is a not-for-profit project, developed under GFDL license, to develop free software and infrastructure for storage, transport and display of varying levels of product information to consumers at the point of purchase.
It is one of several essential projects that will, together, make moral purchasing a daily reality.
Advice will probably be seen by the end user as a red/yellow/green traffic light-type signal, or as a score easily translated into a price premium, or as a note in Simple English about issues with, or merits of, the product. All rely on materials compliant with a wikitext standard.
In any case, it is keyed to bar codes, and may rely on frequently updated data embedded in hand-held devices, and/or dynamic retrieval via short-range wireless to the shelf front. Where possible, reasons for making buying decisions, or refusing a certain product, will go as feedback to the producers. This will enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and keep this planet as hospitable as possible for human and other natural life.
