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

    Factors affecting systems selections

    • Copyleft 'free to modify' and 'free of 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.

    Encodings

    • Integers w:BASE10 for integers, size depends on available solutions. Escape integer ceiling by bluntly encoding the integer as string of BASE-10 chars, dirty hack but could do the trick.
    • Condense URL encoding w:BASE64 and 64 possible characters, exactly 6 bits from w:ISO/IEC 646 (hard compatible with 7-bit ASCII)
    • 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

    • Copyleft licensing for content, code and Consumerium Commons media repository
    • 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.
