== | [[Technologies]] especially FOSS ( Free and Open Source Software ) has a key role in making the Consumium [[goals]] possible. A lot has changed since 2002/2003, the [[means]] are here at reach to make Consumium work in the real world. [[#What kind of information Consumerium / Consumium plans to offer consumers on businesses?|lot of the information]] described in the [[Goals and means of the Consumerium project]] is available from [[DBpedia]] [[w:ontology]] and [[w:dataset]]s ( from [[categories]] and from [[infoboxen]] ) and also from [[Wikidata]][http://wikidata.org/ (.org)] which was initiated in 2012. Consumium.org will have it's own wikidata.consumium.org and we sync from multiple sources ( both [[DBpedia]] and [[Wikidata]] ) | ||
[[MediaWiki]], it's extra [[namespaces]], [[templates]], [[categories]], [[MediaWiki/extensions|extensions]], [[MediaWiki/widgets|widgets]] and [[MediaWiki/bots|bots]] ( all running on Debian GNU/Linux LAMP-servers-from-cloud ) need to be finetuned to work together. | |||
Templates will be widely employed to add [[categories]] to articles. | |||
All languages will be served from single wiki utilizing [[mw:MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle]]. | |||
== Costs of infrastructure == | |||
The most computer resources in the original plans were the means to serve the [[Advertisement Videos]] but today those can be embedded into wiki from youtube.com so that's taken care of and we require zero investent to enable serving videos. | |||
== Manual work / automized work == | |||
The most human resources demanding was the entering of the [[Business]] and [[Product]] data but with the emergence of [[DBpedia]] we can have extensive datas on 40,000+ businesses fully automatically and many many other entities/articles. | |||
== Issues needing resolving == | |||
The [[#licensing|licensing]] issue of whether to go with [[GFDL]] + CC-A-SA double licensing or just one of them needs to be well thought out and solved. | |||
== Name change == | |||
In Spring 2012 the decision was made to [[#Changing the name of the effort from Consumerium to Consumium|change the name of the effort from Consumerium to Consumium]] | |||
== Wiki structure == | |||
[[#Consumium wiki structure|Consumium wiki structure]] is much in a state of change at the moment, but the current design plan is to '''serve all languages from a single''' wiki much like [[Translatewiki]] is doing and to have a second wiki for file uploads ( like the commons ) and to use [[Single-signon]] with the two wikis, so that the user accounts are global.. With the coming of the [[Universal Language Selector]] we will likely adopt the form of <tt>/wiki/Article_name_in_English/fi</tt> instead of <tt>/wiki/fi/Artikkelin_nimi_suomeksi</tt>. | |||
== Developers needed == | |||
[[Templates|Template]] designers to design templates obviously, [[Mediawiki]] [[MediaWiki/extensions|extension]] programmers to implement [[voting]] system and [[feedback]] delivery system | |||
== Licensing == | |||
I think Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License is a natural choice but I'm not sure. Surely it would make little sense to license the [[voting|votes]] so keep them copyright of the user i.e. have the templates used for quick voting will be under CC-A-SA but the actual votes are not under GFDL or CC-A-SA.. Right ? This can be done by loading a dump into a temp database and deleting everything in the User-namespace and redumping. | I think Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License is a natural choice but I'm not sure.

The old plans called for having two wikis either [[Research Wiki]] and [[Publish Wiki]] ( suggested by the [[trolls]], focus on distinction of researchable stuff from publishable stuff ) or [[Content Wiki]] and [[Opinion Wiki]] ( suggested by [[User:Juxo]], effort founder, focus on isolation of factual content from subjective opinions ) but currently it looks like those plans are scrapped in favor of having only one [[Implementation Wiki]] to minimize governmental overhead.

The upcoming [[Universal Language Selector]] conforms to the MediaWiki style of having the language code coming after the article, not before it, though our method would be navigationally perhaps better. | |||
