Originally the plan was to store information in [[XML]] and rely heavily on systemic checks on data at entry time. Nowerdays the plan has shifted to utilizing [[wiki]]s and peer-review for accuracy.

We are aiming to get [[Consumerium Services]] into the shelf front where the purchasing decisions are made, but it looks much more likely that we are going to focus on enabling changing repeat-buy behaviour, so called [[Checkout Consumerium]] where you grab the [[product identification]] information to your cell phone via [[Near Field Communication]] and then touch your home computer to examine alternate consumption choices.

==What's going on?==
It's mostly about some [[POVs|view point disagreements]] and disagreements about various [[ISMs]]. Also opposition for re-introduction of [[Opinion Wiki]] into the total plan of how to make this workable in the real world is heated.
 
Much attention is needed to define the [[Consumerium:Intermediate page types]] to enable [[Consumerium:We|us]] to launch a [[Research Wiki pilot]]. Also [[Simple model for expressing opinions]] (within Research Wiki) should be sanity checked and details scrutinized in the light of usability and software performance.

Currently [[research]] is dispersed to multiple sites such as [[Wikipedia]] for generic, encyclopedic information, [[CorpKnowPedia]] for information on corporations and [[Wiktionary]] for translation needs. This is not a problem since all points of research are licensed under [[GFDL]]

Note:  there is no [[ontological distinction]] between research and opinion:  research is the opinion of a researcher.  And anyone can be a "researcher".  Thus, opinions are indistinguishable from other forms of research - except that one could say "facts are research, and analysis is opinion." 
==Opinions==
 
The [[Opinion Wiki]] is for [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]] but mere opinions of people. Mostly these opinions are stated as [[campaign]]s for and against some entity, such as [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]) or a piece of [[advertising]].
There's some question of what to do with [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]]. These are part of "research" but must be clearly marked - maybe awaiting [[answer recommendation]] filters? 
 
They are often drawn from outside text, maybe via [[corpus import]], e.g.[[campaign]]s for and against some entity:  [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]].  They may be a piece of [[advertising]] which is clearly promotional. 
 
Separating them is unwise.  An opinion starts as the lowest-credibility form of research, undergoes [[TIPAESA]] debate, and those who provide it will often be engaged with the [[Lowest Troll]] to determine if the authors or transmitters or republishers are [[funded troll]]s being paid to trash or promote some commercial service.  But no one will volunteer to separate "research" from "opinion" and to do so simply creates unaccountable [[sysop power structure]].

==Publish==
==Publish==
[[Publish Wiki]] will be updated from [[Research Wiki]] and [[Opinion Wiki]] upon approval by some algorithm that probably involves both trusted people and formal algorithms. ''How the approval process works and how it may be reversed is a key question that needs to be solved before we proceed to the [[future]] - see [[answer recommendation]], [[edits, votes and bets]] for some approaches.''
[[Publish Wiki]] will be updated from [[Research Wiki]] and [[Opinion Wiki]] upon approval by designated people. How the approval process works and how it may be reversed is a key question that needs to be solved before we proceed to the [[future]].  


We will start with the English language Publish Wiki and other languages will be set up when there is demand.

An important test of the publish wiki is that it must be able to filter out the opinions the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] can't sanction from the research that it exists to broadcast.  That can't be done by simply asking or requiring that contributors "properly" label it!  Neutrality is always a fight.

==Trolling==
The basic philosophical stance of [[trolling]] is compactly presented in '''[[Trollism]]''' an almost entirely diametrical to that of [[Sysopism]]
Consumerium Development Wiki could humorously be called "the encyclopedia of [[trolling]]" so far has our main [[troll]], [[142.177.X.X]], [[trolling|trolled]] with the help of other [[trolls]], some choosing a maybe shared account, some choosing to remain anonymous identified only by [[IP number]]
