'''MediaWiki''' is the software [[Consumerium]] uses on its [[R&D wiki]] which you are using right now.  It is one of several [[wiki code]] options, seemingly the one that has a [[wikitext standard]] suitable for large numbers of people to collaborate on in many languages.  http://mediawiki.org

It is not however ideal as a piece of code to work with our [[hardware requirements]] or [[protocol requirements]], e.g. it does not integrate with any [[chat code]].  Nor will it implement some features of the [[content wiki]] or [[opinion wiki]] that will be needed eventually to deliver [[Consumerium Services]].   
It is not however ideal as a piece of code to work with our [[hardware requirements]] or [[protocol requirements]], e.g. it does not currently integrate with any [[chat code]].  Nor does it implement some features of the [[content wiki]] or [[opinion wiki]] that will be needed eventually to deliver [[Consumerium Services]] such as [[signing]] versions of articles, which is needed for non-centralized integrity burden of proof.   


Therefore its use at present is really just a test, and to make it easier to crib in text from other [[GFDL]] services, most of which also use mediawiki.  [[Consumerium developers]] will have to make their choices based also on the constraints the [[Consumerium License]] might place on using [[GPL]]'d code.  This might not be an issue, or it might be a huge issue, we just don't know.

These are things the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] will decide, and this [[R&D wiki]] is here to discuss.
