[[Consumerium:Welcome, newcomers|Welcome, newcomers]] to [[consumerium]], where [[fair trade]], [[political consumerism]] and [[moral purchasing]] trends are coming together to create what we call '''''[[moral purchasing power]]''''':


[[Consumerium]] is a not-for-profit project to focus that power.  We are collaborating under the [[GFDL]] [[licences|license]], to design a [[healthy buying infrastructure]].  We are identifying [[hardware requirements]] for storage, transport and display of varying levels of '''[[features|product information]] to [[consumer]]s''' and '''[[feedback]] to [[producer]]s''' at the [[point of purchase]]. 
<big>'''''Consumerium''''' - ''Enhancing Consumer Informedness'' since 2002 - '''''Kuluttajisto''''' - ''Kuluttajien voimaannuttamista'' jo vuodesta 2002 </big>


Start exploring [[Consumerium:Itself|Consumerium]] by seeing the '''[[Brief introduction]]''' article and another way in to this could be the '''[[Consumerium:FAQ]]'''. There are also other '''[[essential projects]]''', besides [[Consumerium:Itself|Consumerium itself]] we hope to introduce you to.

We invite you, if you wish to participate by editing proposals and discussions below. As customary in many [[wiki]]s '''any page can be edited by anyone, anytime''', or [[revert|restored to a previous state]] by anyone, which is the convention we assume will also apply in operation in this (combined) [[Research Wiki|Research]] and [[Development Wiki]];  Please see [[What Consumerium RD Wiki is not]], [[guidelines]] and [[rules]] for do's and dont's'''

[[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]]'''.
