Consumerium:Village pump - Consumerium development wiki

Hi and welcome to the Consumerium Village pump.

The purpose of this page is to ask questions about how we should go about things here and anwsering them.

This name is not good ihmo. There is nothing to buy and nothing to sell at a village pump. It is just a place to lose the soap. Please don't copy the english wiki for the sake of it.

Why not copy the 'pedia, it'll make people coming from Wikipedia feel much more home quickly.

My Consumerium:Market Place was a much better one.

That name would indicate there is something for sale there. I've been thinking that once we have some preliminary XML ready, then we have to set up Consumerium:Pseudore (Consumerium PSEUDo StORE), a sort of game or playground where we can test the functionality of our markup and simulate different situations eg. handling parties who wish to input Disinformation to undermine the Integrity and Reputation of the system. I'll iterate on this once it's time. Juxo 14:43 Jun 15, 2003 (EEST)

Sigh. No one ever listen to a poor House Elf :-(

Trolls do!

Hello consumerists. I'm not sure who's in charge around here, but whoever it is, read this. Everyone else, go away ;)

I am a Wikipedia developer, and we're trying to get all system administrators who are using our software to join the newly-created MediaWiki-l mailing list. We will use this list to tell you about bugs, new releases, security problems, etc. In particular, there is a minor security flaw which we are working to fix at the moment. We expect the volume of this list to be very low.

Thanks, I'll do that.

By the way, not everyone calls their Q&A page the village pump. The French Wikipedia has a "bistro" for example. -- Tim Starling 11:49, 13 Oct 2003 (EEST)

Sure. Maybe Consumerium:Irrigation hub would have been a better name Juxo 12:28, 13 Oct 2003 (EEST)

Propose Consumerium:Party. That can be like a garden party, or like a political party. Make sense?
