    List of social media where you can like Consumerium

    • Diaspora* - a decentralized ad-free and cost-free social network software and social network. d.consumium.org - a Consumium free social media. http://podupti.me is a site dedicated to provide various views of the pods currently active. Share with us. We are consumium@d.consumium.org.

    Technical solutions and information sources useful to Consumerium

    (note: Meta-Wikipedia is now devoted to software imperialism and mediawiki hegemony, and cannot be considered a valid forum to discuss any such "standard"; As an example of a failed attempt to organize against a cabal, see theUnited Wikipedias Forum - how to get a huge 40-language project governed in Simple English without a cabal taking it over completely. Obviously this has failed.

    GFDL corpus sources of information

    • GFDL Corpus despite the various thugs trying to control it for their own commercial interests
      • Wikipedia (.org) The free encyclopedia, all content is under GFDL. - (Running MediaWiki) use [[w:Article name]]
      • Wikibooks (.org) Yet another great idea being put forward by WikiMedia Foundation. Wikibooks is dedicated to developing and disseminating free, open content textbooks and other classroom texts - (Running MediaWiki, under GFDL)
        • Cookbook - One of the wikibooks that is of particular interest is the cookbook. Includes information on vegan and vegetarian food as well as other moral purchasing. - (Running MediaWiki, under GFDL)
      • Wiktionary - The free dictionary and thesaurus in every language. GFDL also. Not much happening there now. - (Running MediaWiki, under GFDL)
      • Simple English Wikipedia (.org) - educating people all over the world, finding out what they care about, recruiting those who can keep opinion wiki up to date. This is the translation base for all Wikipedias, and may be necessary for use to provide background notes in any language for Consumerium advice.

    More may be located via the WikiApiary(.com) that tracking 8,000+ MediaWiki wikis
