Consumer Shelf front Preferences

Do you wish to input and store an email address to your client?

-> Yes

Do you wish to send feedback with your email address
or without your email address
or do you want this question to be asked for every feedback you send?

-> No

All feedback you send will be anonymous, You have no possibility to get personal feedback to your feedback. Recipients are likely to be less interested in Anonymous Cowards then self-confident consumers

Do you wish to get a preconfigured preferences package from some NGO or a friend or make your own preferences?

-> Preconfigured

Choose a package
Do you wish to detach the preferences from source or keep them linked so that when the author of preferences package updates it the updates will be applied to your preferences too?
- ->Detached -> It is your own responsibility to keep your preferences up-to-date with the changing situations
- ->Linked: You will receive a briefing of what has changed each time your preferences provider updates your package. There are still some preferences that are so personal that they cannot be preconfigured. You also have the option to override any preference you like, by detaching it from source. You may resync it with your source later on.

-> Do It Yourself -> Have fun. This will take several hours

Do you wish to personally choose areas to support and to avoid, such as your home country, countries with agreeable policies, countries with disagreeable policies?

Opinion Wiki Preferences

Content Wiki Preferences

Considerations

There is a problem of keeping consumer personal preferences safe. Proposed ideas have included:

Store the data encrypted and give the key only to the consumer. This way the data persists in the network and can be made available for server side processing (quite necessary for plain XHTML UI) and disposed of after the consumer has left the network.
Store the data within the Consumer Agent residing in the consumers personal mobile terminal /scanner. The consumer agent can then give snipplets of the preferences and other data to the network on a on-demand basis.
Store the data on a smart card carried by the consumer, and available to him on demand at any kiosk.
