Consumerium development wiki turns 20

So, the Consumerium development wiki turns 20 on Friday 2023-02-24 Fri Feb 24 2023 00:52:00 GMT +0000.[misc 1] and the motivation for Consumerium remains the same.

“It is perfectly true, as the philosophers say, that life must be understood backwards. But they forget the other proposition, that it must be lived forwards.”

Many of the planned features have already been implemented as services by both profit-maximizing and non-profit-seeking entities during these past 20 years.

PLANNING for the future

  • Knowledge graphs consisting of linked data are a complicated field, but necessary for realizing the Consumerium goals
  • kuluttajistow:Etusivu - a distinct Finnish language wiki at the domain Kuluttajisto.fi
  • w:Solid (web decentralization project) seems very aligned in what it is trying to do and will probably succeed. Give the ownership of the data to the people and make the corporations play nice that way.

HISTORY

See Timeline of Consumerium for info on what has happened during these years that has been significant for the development effort.

Goals and means of Consumerium is the oldest mission statement document of the Consumerium.org effort from ca. 2001-2002.
