Editing Talk:Development Wiki

:Please, let us not further confuse things by renaming concepts without figuring out and stating clearly how things work. Let's focus on the [[Open questions]] instead.

The '''Develop Wiki''' or '''Development Wiki''', formerly known as '''R&D wiki''', is where [[software development concepts]], [[wiki management]] problems, etc., are discussed.  Eventually other material will be spun off into [[Research Wiki]], formerly known as [[Opinion Wiki]], which will be a [[large public wiki]] with slightly better [[governance]] than most of those.

Meanwhile, the [[Publish Wiki]], (once [[Signal Wiki]] or [[Content Wiki]]), will have only the exact data required to generate the [[Consumerium buying signal]].  Nothing will get to this wiki until it has been debated thoroughly as research, and accepted by at least one [[faction]] as affecting [[individual buying criteria]] for those that trust them to make such decisions.  This [[core data]], some of it [[factionally defined]], has to be good enough to justify deploying a whole [[healthy buying infrastructure]] just to get a look at it.

Proving this will require a [[pilot]] project.

So maybe the process is:

:I suppose this "process" refers to the information flow from the '''Research Wiki''' into the '''Signal Wiki''' which is '''confusing''' because before the distinction between [[Content Wiki]] (for facts) and [[Opinion Wiki]] (for subjective views and campaigns based on subjective criteria) was clear and as unambiguous as it can get -- [[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 11:16, 23 Feb 2004 (EET)

1. Stupid idea proposed in [[Development Wiki]] - [[trolls]] attack;  Slightly less stupid ideas evolve like bacteria;  Years of stupidity and trashing ideas might lead to one good [[90 day sprint]] ever year, two or three [[30 day sprint]]s, and maybe five or six [[14 day sprint]]s.  Maybe three to five man years of work per year of [[software development]].

2. Based on arguments about above, [[power structure]] evolves in [[Development Wiki]] with loose idea of who will recruit [[trolls]] from where to support what position;  Agreement on how to make sure that real user needs, [[random facts]], and other [[user-land]] concerns are respected.  For instance, limiting the total number of trolls to recruit from some [[large public wiki]], or requiring the [[faction]] to go find and pay some poor people (even [[cheap outsourced coder]]s) to disagree with them and their [[developed-world point of view]].  Agreements are informal.

3. [[Research Wiki]] with formal [[faction]]s battle it out;  They may gain or lose points in [[revert currency]] for violating trust of other [[faction]]s.  Whole thing is like a [[turn-based strategy game]], [[politics as usual]], or whatever.  It tries to be about as complex as real [[political party]] stuff, but not ''worse'' than that hopefully.  ''Nothing less complex is known to work except [[GodKing]] dictatorship, and that usually has bad real world results.''

4. [[Signal Wiki]] takes only what all [[faction]]s can agree is true.  Since it's not "free" to push nonsense (see [[bet]] and [[revert currency]]), factions choose battles carefully, and let other factions win when there is no point opposing the truth.

5. [[Consumerium buying signal]] errors are identified by [[noble user]]s who we trust more than our own [[core data]];  They come back as [[trolls]] to show us the error of our ways.  When they die, AIs pretending to be them except way faster typing (!) come back to re-engineer the whole system to be [[trollish]].

6. The [[trollish]] language evolves among the AIs and replaces English and the [[sysop power structure]];  Only AIs and really trolly trolls can understand it, and that only by dancing.

7. Civilization ends.
