I understand what you say about conscientious consumers and part-time workers. I have been one of those part-time workers and I find it annoying when customers assume you know something about one of the 10,000 products in the store even though you didn't get one day of training.

While I understand how cool it would be if the whole thing could work like you outline, I am not interested in working on (planning, developing, discussing, etc.) a system for accessing a database unless the database is populated.  I am interested, however, in helping populate the database. Juxo, should I work on that database here on Consumerium (if so, where?) or should I set up a different place?
:In Finland people are often even shy about ''requesting'' any information from the store staff in case the store staff doesn't know the anwser to the question and is put in an awkward situation for both.

[[Consumerium:Retrospection]] offers a ''little insight'' into how the concept has evolved from a ''technocratic'' project mainly consisting of automated processing of information into a "[[wiki way]]"-direction, but it still needs tuning. I am anticipating a five to ten year development time. I hope this does not put you off. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 14:34, 16 Mar 2004 (EET)

:I understand. No-one is taking the lead to generate software unique to [[Consumerium]] so far which taking into account how radically the [[Consumerium:Retrospection|plot]] has changed is sort of a good thing because work put into making proprietary software would have stopped us from evolving the concept further because of respect to the coders hard work. But since we don't have a single line of code we are free to change the plans.--[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 14:34, 16 Mar 2004 (EET)

:Here we try to generate a WikiWikiWeb that will provide all the needed information to guide building of [[wikis|production wikis]]. If you mean [[Company]] or [[Product]] specific data, this is not the place that information will go to one of the [[wikis]] when we set them up. But sadly for those who are in a hurry it is still not time to set the wikis up because we don't have a practice (or [[instructional capital]] as [[142.177.X.X]] likes to call it) for managing the wikis and neither a set plan on how information flows and we are not even sure what should go where and do we need [[wikis|two wikis]] or just one [[wiki]].
 
:Information you have that might be of interest to a larger "population" then the one here in this R&D Wiki should go to [[Wikipedia]] just link the interesting articles from [[Research]] (work needed on articles listed there) or [[Wikipedia]] (when an article is fairly complete) Feel free to write new articles here. We are in desperate need of contributors that are willing to use an identity instead of horrendeous [[trolling]]. I have been making up the [[guidelines]] and [[rules]] up as I go along and this wiki is a mix of anarchy and autocracy, which won't work for the production wikis. [[Recyclopedia]] seems like a subset of the [[GFDL corpus]] dedicated to "alternative" views and things. [[Wikinfo]] might grow to be a formidable access point into the whole "encyclopedic [[GFDL corpus]]".
 
:'''Short anwser:''' Write it here unless explicitly forbidden in [[rules]] or [[guidelines]] and it'll flow into the right slot eventually. Be bold in creating new articles. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 14:34, 16 Mar 2004 (EET)
