===Grouping services geographically=== | |||
I've been thinking about the [[Language vs. Area]] problemacy. I've been plotting a plan in my head that certain [[companies]] and [[product]]s they offer should be arranged by location ie. | I've been thinking about the [[Language vs. Area]] problemacy.

...but then something almost magical happened... I remembered something that I've been taught in school: '''There are [[Good]]s (tanglible) and [[Service]]s (intanglible)''', both of these are [[product]]s (This is how it is in the course books). The distinction between a service and a good is sometimes difficult to make. This is covered well in the [[w:Service]] article. | ...but then something almost magical happened...

-[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] goes to the [[store]] to buy bread.

Some people argue strongly that all transactions should be viewed as services. See [[w:Service economy]] and/or [[Service economy]] on this view point. | Some people argue strongly that all transactions should be viewed as services.

The problem of whose responsibility it is to make these kinds of decisions doesn't evaporate away because someone has to '''decide''' who are the '''decision makers''' in each case. | The problem of whose responsibility it is to make these kinds of decisions doesn't evaporate away because someone has to '''decide''' who are the '''decision makers''' in each case. | ||
===Past, Present and a little Future=== | |||
This wiki has been online for [[Timeline of Consumerium|over 2 years]] and a lot of new [[MediaWiki modifications|new features]] have since been added to [[MediaWiki]].. heck it used to be called "Wikipedia phase III" when I first installed this versatile and user-friendly wiki. Categorizing many pages here like [[Links]] and [[ISMs]] for example doesn't seem to be of much use since these have already been collected into article-lists. On the other hand we have over 1000 articles and we are in need of unification ie. '''nail down what do we want [[consumerium]] to do and focus on how to get it done in real life.''' | |||
We have to decide what do we want consumerium to do and how to get there without stalling at the starting gates due to lack of coverage/information or misguided by [[misinformation]] and [[w:disinformation]], lead astray by [[sock puppet]]s, [[paid troll]]s and the [[creatures of the deep]]. | |||
Soon I will define and publish the minimum feature set (of the often far flung [[features]]) which | |||
#Catch the ethos of consumerium | |||
#Allow editing work done locally and globally | |||
#Involve and internetwork [[Consumer]]s, [[w:List of professions|Worker]]s and [[Capitalist]]s in all 3*2*1 = 6 ways (or as close as one can get to that) | |||
