==Dispute== The project is not "consudev" it is "Consumerium". Any other name is just madness and violates all [[wiki best practice]]. --[[142.177.X.X]] Keep straight what is [[Consumerium:namespace]] and what is [[Develop:namespace]] and you will not want a confusion of the two into "consudev" --[[142.177.X.X]] :"Consumerium:" will be the project-namespace used for guidelines and help for editing and viewing the content that is in the main (and other namespaces such as "Company:") --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 18:48, 27 Aug 2005 (GMT) ::"viewing the content that is in the main" at develop.consumerium.org, you mean? what is at consumerium.org? I would presume that is [[Research:]] for reasons stated below. ::We *are* using [[Consumerium:]] properly now, and pages like [[Consumerium:itself]] are providing exactly that, "guidelines and help for editing" and setting mission of the project (which is certainly the same, it is the "meta" level). This is not "consudev" stuff. If you want to help Consumerium [[develop:itself]] then fine link to that page! Likewise if you want it to [[research:itself]] or [[publish:itself]], go ahead, those are key functions it must perform: :::define itself (via pages linked to [[Consumerium:itself]]) :::develop itself (via pages linked to [[Develop:itself]]) :::research itself (via pages linked to [[Research:itself]], say mentions of Consumerium in the press, and effects it has had on decisions, and other empirical neutral evidence) :::publish itself (via pages linked to [[Publish:itself]], which defines its mission and purpose to the world via publications and corrects misimpressions revealed by research, states new directiosn for development, and explains new definitions for its mission) ::Doing it that way takes full advantage of the practice of linking to [[itself]] - makes things very [[reflexive]] so that no special group of people has any great powers over the mission or purpose of the project. ::OTHER THAN THAT, we agree, [[Consumerium:]] is what [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] uses. According to [[namespace]] it uses [[Develop:]] only to debate development decisions like technology. Maybe this is redundant and we can actually use only main namespace for this? Most [[large public wiki]]s though use their [[main namespace]] for the things that most of the public cares about, so in our case, this should be the [[Research:]]]. ::A god-awful alternative is to use horrible standard abbreviations like "dev:" and "pub:" but this is just too awful to think about.
