In such [[pilot]] projects, often the users are chosen specifically to be difficult to support, if the anticipated issue of deployment is the variety of users, i.e. [[trolls]] especially [[funded troll]]s, in [[Research Wiki]] and in [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], and [[sysop vandalism]] advocates | In such [[pilot]] projects, often the users are chosen specifically to be difficult to support, if the anticipated issue of deployment is the variety of users, i.e. [[trolls]] especially [[funded troll]]s, in [[Research Wiki]] and in [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], and [[sysop vandalism]] advocates. | ||

One output of such a pilot would be a decision whether to [[end Wikimedia]] or work to an [[negotiated settlement between trolls and Wikimedia]] regarding who controls the [[GFDL corpus]] and to what standards [[GFDL]] content will be held. For instance a fixed fee might be charged for every lie about Consumerium or its contributors that is published via [[Wikimedia]] forums. In return, [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] would agree not to sue for more damages. | One output of such a pilot would be a decision whether to [[end Wikimedia]] or work to an [[negotiated settlement between trolls and Wikimedia]] regarding who controls the [[GFDL corpus]] and to what standards [[GFDL]] content will be held.
