What Consumerium is not: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:09, 9 September 2004

This is what Consumerium is not:

a general purpose discussion blog
an anarchist experiment
a playground for "Wikipedians" - especially for banned Wikipedia ex-users who seek to spew their anti-Wikipedia polemics all over the place
any of the essential projects - we dont compete with them to do the work they do, and we hope they are wise enough not to compete with us and will work with us instead
free software necessarily, nor necessarily even open source, nor a representative of any particular ideology - we deliberately let Consumerium Governance Organization and eventually an independent board decide what software license options should be placed on what aspects of this system - if you disagree, well, the entire R&D wiki is GFDL, so fork off!

 *a general purpose discussion blog
-*an anarchist experiment - we are [[troll-friendly]] only to the degree we have to be to head off certain [[legal problems]] and [[accountability problems]] that less troll-friendly wikis run into almost by design

-*a peer or friend to the [[enemy projects]] which are competing directly with us for attention from skilled people, and wasting the time of many such folks - often trying and failing to do jobs we can do better, like defining [[Simple English]] or controlling [[sysop vandalism]] or coping with [[political dispute]]s
