''Please debate this here and not in [[Talk:Consumerium itself]] which is only one issue affected by these major decisions, nor in [[Dispute over project-namespace change]] which is just a bad name since the issues will re-emerge in other disputes later on, i.e. there is no one such dispute, but there will be ongoing disputes about this, all on this page I hope:''

==The real deal==
Using '''verbs''' for namespaces just isn't something we are going to do; It just messes the mental coherence of what is the role and meaning of article names in the main namespace and in the other namespaces.
'''Namespaces must be nouns'''
I could consider changing the project-namespace to "Development:", but I'd say that "Consudev:" is a good solution:
*It's not too long.
*It's not difficult to remember
*It conveys that the articles in the namespace are about "CONSUmerium DEVelepoment" (which would be way too long to use
