Consumerium is now closed for editing. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Now move your sights to http://en.consumeria.info/wiki/.

This wiki you are looking at now is a snap-shot of Consumerium Development Wiki as it was on November 10th 2006. Projects are things that have an ending if they had no ending they would not be projects. Consumeria effort is a natural continuum true to the spirit of Consumerium development work. Consumerium ended up being so incoherent and eventually over-run by a horde of vandals.

Welcome, newcomers to Consumerium Development Wiki, where fair trade, political consumerism, and moral purchasing trends, all essential to our philosophy, are being pieced together into what we call moral purchasing power.

Consumerium itself is a not-for-profit project to enable display of product information to consumers and feedback to the producers to enhance the consumer experience and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible.

A couple of ways to start exploring Consumerium are the Brief introduction and Consumerium:FAQ articles. There are also other essential projects, such as Simple English Wikipedia (.org) and Sourcewatch.org and many others that we hope to introduce you to.

We are collaborating under the GFDL license, to design a healthy buying infrastructure. We are identifying hardware requirements for storage, transport and display of varying levels of product information to consumers and feedback to producers at the point of purchase to enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible.

There are currently 1,173 articles of Consumerium development related work.

Managers wondering about the impact of this on their business should read The Executive Summary page.
