__NOTOC__
==Welcome to Consumerium.org R&D Wiki==
[[Consumerium]] is a not-for-profit project, being designed under [[GFDL]] [[licences|license]], to develop [[w:free software|free software]] and [[Hardware Requirements|infrastructure]] for storage, transport and display of varying levels of [[Features|product information]] to [[consumer]]s at the [[point of purchase]]. 


A [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] may also develop or aggregate other software to assist in the compilation and validation of information to guide purchasing.  For integrity reasons and to prevent bad copies and misleading competitors, this may require a more specific [[Consumerium License]] regime.


Our projects are part of a major trend in activism - one of several [[essential projects]] that will make [[moral purchasing]] a daily reality.  Consumerium focuses '''''[[moral purchasing power]]''''' to keep this planet hospitable as possible for life.  How exactly will this be done?  See [[Consumerium Services]] - the following is a brief summary of what has been concluded there:
<big>'''''Consumerium''''' - ''Enhancing Consumer Informedness'' since 2002 - '''''Kuluttajisto''''' - ''Kuluttajien voimaannuttamista'' jo vuodesta 2002 </big>


:Our front end will be seen by the [[end user]] as a [[red light|red]]/[[yellow light|yellow]]/[[green light]] traffic-type signal, or as a [[score]] easily translated into a [[price premium]], or as a note in [[Simple English]] about issues with, or merits of, the product. Release of this advice is keyed to [[bar code]]s.
[[Image:Consum-er-ium-banner.png]]


:There are several ways to connect back to front end:  we may rely on frequently updated data embedded in hand-held devices, and/or dynamic retrieval via [[short-range wireless]] to the shelf front.  Where possible, reasons for making buying decisions, or refusing a certain product, will go as [[feedback]] to the [[producer]]s. 
----


:Our back end relies on [[opinion wiki]] comments compiled by software using a [[wikitext standard]].  [[Semantic link]] standards may be required also.  To work out the conventions and issues involved, we are working through a wiki in the R&D phase.

We invite you to participate by editing proposals and discussions below. Any page can be edited by anyone, or restored to a previous state by anyone, which is the convention we assume will also apply in operation:

[[Consumerium:Itself|Consumerium itself]] is a not-for-profit effort to enable '''display''' of '''[[Features|product information]]''' to '''[[consumer]]s''' and '''[[feedback]]''' to '''producers''' and their '''owners''' in '''all [[countries of the world]]''' to enhance the consumer experience and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible. To this end Consumerium is compiling information on the '''[[countries of the world]]''', '''[[technologies]]''', [[Consumerium list of lists#Consumerium lists of consumer convenience services|convenience services for the consumer]] and [[Consumerium list of lists|more]].

Our intent is to provide '''[[Knowledge graphs|a knowledge graph]]''' and '''[[services]]''' for which we need [[infrastructure]] built with '''[[technologies]]'''.

[[Consumerium:Welcome, newcomers|Welcome, newcomers]] to our set of <font color="blue"> {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}</font> [[Consumerium]] Effort [[development wiki]] [[Special:Allpages|articles]] crafted in the spirit of [[Consumerium:We|our]] [[Consumerium:philosophy|philosophy]] where [[fairtrade]], [[Human rights and business|human rights in business]], [[political consumerism]], [[copyleft]], [[free software]], [[moral purchasing]], [[w:consumer activism|w:consumer activism]] and [[w:Activist shareholder|w:shareholder activism]] are close to the core.
 
We are collaborating under the [[GFDL]] [[licenses|license]], to design a [[healthy buying infrastructure]].  We are identifying [[hardware requirements]] for [[wiki|storage]], transport and display of varying levels of '''[[features|product information]] to [[consumer]]s''' and '''[[feedback]] to [[producer]]s''' at the [[point of purchase]] to enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible.
