This article is for choosing good systems (technical) for The [[Consumerium]] Effort - Enhancing Consumer Informedness


== Factors affecting systems selections ==  
== Factors affecting database systems selections ==  


* [[Copyleft]] 'free to modify' and 'free of cost' software is strongly preferred over other solutions.  
* [[Copyleft]] 'free to modify' and 'free in cost' software is strongly preferred over other solutions.  
* Minimal modifications made (MMM) is an preference as well. This will ensure that we don't get swamped down on patching ad-hoccy, unstandard aged solutions to keep 'em working with the new stuff.
* Minimal modifications required could be another preference as that means maintenance of the chosen solution is minimized in that aspect.

* [[w:UTF-8]] encoded [[w:Unicode]] for text. UTF-8 is efficient and allows 2^32 different characters.. unless escaped to 40-bit in future revision

== Copyright and copyleft protections system selections ==
== Languages ==
* [[Copyleft]] [[licensing]] for content, code and [[Consumerium Commons]] media repository
Programming languages
* Automatic plagiarism testing which usually probably also translates to copyvio
* Disqualify and rapidly remove all copyvio
* Discourage piratism. Piratism on copyleft much stronger than on copyright.


== Data identifiers ==
''' Currently used languages '''
* [[GTIN]] (contains [[EAN]] and [[UPC]] spaces) identifies uniquely a [[product]] to the systems. Also contains the country of the [[marketer]] (2 first digits of EAN) and address of the marketers address space. It may be possible to acquire namespace size from examining these values. Possible values are 100 ids and 10,000 ids (EAN).
* [[w:PHP]] (5)  
* [[ISO]] identifiers exist for at least [[languages]], [[countries]], country-subdivision [[areas]], [[securities]] and many more things [[w:List of International Organization for Standardization standards]]
* [[w:Ruby (programming language)]]
* [[UN/LOCODE]] (United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations) identifies globally nearly all locations of interest to [[logistics]].
* [[w:Python (programming language)]]

* [[w:diaspora (software)]]*
* [[w:Draft:Hubzilla]] (PHP, MariaDB) - Excellent channel-based distributed free social media where subscription is to the whole network allowing nomadic and double citizenship. A model the others should follow suit.  
* [[w:Draft:Hubzilla]] (pauvre ecrivan.. les deletionists vous savez..)
* [[w:Friendica]] (PHP, MariaDB, fully contained in database w/ images stored as blobs. The least learning curve free social media for [[facebook refugees]]. Initiated by the same guy as Hubzilla.
* [[w:Friendica]]
* [[w:GNU social]] MariaDB - [[w:Microblogging|Microblogging]] platform
* [[w:GNU social]]
* [[w:GNU MediaGoblin]] (Python2 (Installing Python3 was impossible last time I looked at it, theoretically compatible with Py3 but broken because outside code supplier.) and [[w:PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL]]) Role: [[Copyleft]] [[code]], [[content]] and [[codecs]] based media repository.
* [[w:GNU MediaGoblin]]
 
''' Future software '''
* Once [[MaidSafe]] goes persistent stage Consumerium will be deploying many nodes in order to earn SafeCoin to pay for future storage needs. Provision of information services to the denizens of the SAFE Network is also naturally a priority but basically patching a normal webapp onto the SAFE Network is straightforward and easy. Also: commiemism.

The [[w:semantic web]] at large and the [[w:semantic wiki]]s are treasure troves of interesting data which Consumerium should tap into early on to avoid redundant manual replication and duplicate data insertions.
