Consumerium / Consumium - Enhancing consumer informedness
| Welcome, newcomers to Consumerium Development Wiki, where fair trade, political consumerism, Free and Open Source Software ( FOSS ) and moral purchasing trends, all essential to our philosophy, are being pieced together into what we call moral purchasing power by the means of providing consumers means and opportunity to consort by enabling services ( which are provided on infrastructure that consumes resources and is built with technologies ).
Consumerium itself is a not-for-profit effort to enable display of product information to consumers and feedback to the producers to enhance the consumer experience and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible. We are collaborating under the GFDL license, to design a healthy buying infrastructure. We are identifying hardware requirements for storage, transport and display of varying levels of product information to consumers and feedback to producers at the point of purchase to enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible. In Consumerium plans as of 2013 there are various issues which need to be resolved Plans regarding the voting were finished in December 2012. Voting results ( obs. plural ), reviews, feedback and links and linked data are the four key components of a view on a business. Facts and numbers for calculating most of the Consumerium:Metrics ( from 2008-2010 ) are available from 2 sources - DBpedia and Wikidata for tens of thousands of businesses.
