[[Consumerium:Welcome, newcomers|Welcome, newcomers]]. This is the [[Development Wiki]], formerly know as the R&D Wiki, where we are planning operation of [[Research Wiki]] and [[Publish Wiki]](s)  

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 connect that to your home computer to examine alternate consumption choices.

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.  [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]].  These are part of "research" but clearly marked. They are often drawn from outside text, in the form of [[campaign]]s for and against some entity, such as [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]) or a piece of [[advertising]] which is clearly promotional.  An opinion starts as the lowest-credibility form of research 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.
