Welcome to Consumerium.org R&D Wiki

Consumerium is a not-for-profit project, developed under GFDL license, to develop free software and infrastructure for storage, transport and display of varying levels of product information to consumers at the point of purchase.

It is one of several essential projects that will, together, make moral purchasing a daily reality.

Advice will probably be keyed to bar codes, and may rely on frequently updated data embedded in hand-held devices, 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 producers. This will enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and keep this planet as hospitable as possible for human and other natural life.
