Talk:Intershop comparison

Some points you must address before you change this page:

1. how, exactly, is one to prevent intershop comparison from being provided by an add-on service? What Consumerium License provisions specifically say "you can't do this, and we can yank your access to the data if you do"?

Including explicit price data in your submissions is explicitly forbidden in [[Consumerium]].

Any such data will be removed if found in [[Research Wiki]] or [[Signal Wiki]]
You may include verbal descriptions of pricing policies of different companies,

but no numerical data whether as in price or percentage will be allowed --Juxo 16:59, 13 Mar 2004 (EET)

2. why, exactly, does the Development Wiki's present concept of Features and their priority take precedence over what is required to implement best cases? A proper development process is motivated by its comprehensive outcome as expressed in use cases.

I haven't looked at the best cases in a while and when i did i found them to be quite utopian (exept for those that were dystopian) and to the anwser as to why there will be no explicit price data is to

A) No retailer, not even friendly retailer will want their price information to be licensed for any use that is not explicitly hoped and paid for by the retailer ie. advertising

B) Including price data within the Wikis would gepardise our assumed neutrality.

C) Keeping the price data exact and up-to-date would take too much resources

3. If you have big problems or anticipate big problems with intershop comparison, why is there nothing in worst cases explaining how it has bad consequences? Until there is, objections to this feature HAVE NO STATUS, and amount to nothing but feelings. This is similar to the betting issue. If you can't explain why it's bad, expect others to pursue it, until you can. If you're building an open architecture, you're going to see services you don't want implemented, implemented.

We are likely to run into possibly bad attitudes in implementing Intershop navigation, since some retailers will be afraid that the feature is driving customers to competing businesses. besides if you look at features it says that the implementation medium for Intershop navigation is yet undetermined since it requires some kind of GIS-engine to run such a service, which undoubtably would be useful.

4. Consider whether your view is factional. To many people, price comparison is the first feature they'd want, and only later would they care about moral purchasing.

The ones looking primarily for price comparison can go elsewhere. The internet is full of price comparison-services
