A Consumerium Research pilot would build an actual Research Wiki prototype with real intermediate pages describing real companies and their mis/behaviour. It would focus deliberately only on the worst behaviour:
It would stress organizational issues central to Consumerium Governance Organization and potential for diluting the trademark, libel chill, other lawsuits and other potential problems.
In such pilot projects, often the users are chosen specifically to be difficult to support, if the anticipated issue of deployment is the variety of users, i.e. trolls especially funded trolls, in Research Wiki and in Consumerium Governance Organization, and sysop vandalism advocates.
To test the extent of these conflicts and the tit for tat tactics they engender, we need an actual Research Wiki up and running; One with real intermediate pages that we can fight about. Elements of this pilot include:
- troll-friendly policies evolving under much factional/legal pressure
- identification of worst practices and the garbage that imports them to a large public wiki, fair ways to ensure these people are driven off by trolls before they can engage in vandalism of subtle or sysop character
- writing cease and desist letters to those who defame Consumerium:Itself
- beginning a self-funding process of suing those who lie about Consumerium, to fund Consumerium Services - starting with Wikimedia potentially
One output of such a pilot would be a decision whether to end Wikimedia or work to an negotiated settlement between trolls and Wikimedia regarding who controls the GFDL corpus and to what standards GFDL content will be held.
