In a [[pilot]], a '''test case''' is one that helps stress the capabilities of the [[Consumerium Process|process]] or [[Consumerium Services|system/services]] that are being tested.  These should be selected for maximum controversy and to follow up decisively on [[proof of concept]] [[progress]]:

*The prototype [[Develop Wiki]] discussion about [[independent board]], [[alleged Wikimedia corruption]], role of [[Bomis]], role of [[perjury]], [[libel chill]], [[groupthink]], actual [[libel]], [[echo chamber]]s, and so on, could be fully developed as a '''case''' of a [[for-profit]] or [[interest group]] exploiting [[non-profit]] status.  In the [[Consumerium Research pilot]] such claims would help '''test''' the [[guidelines for claiming corruption]] and subject them to maximum pressure from expert wiki users of the [[sysop power structure]], those prone to try maximum [[technological escalation]].  Lawsuits based on that would also perhaps help [[self-funding]].

*The prototype [[Develop Wiki]] discussion about [[Gus Kouwenhoven]], [[Craig Hubley]], [[Fred Bauder]], [[Erik Moeller]] and [[Abe Sokolov]] could easily be developed into a model of what are the reasonable limits of talking about persons in the [[Research Wiki]], and [[guidelines for claims about people]].

*[[Ending Wikimedia]] and forcing [[Bomis]] to disavow itself of any involvement with [[Wikipedia]] would be an excellent '''test case''' that would prove the ability of online scrutiny to eventually force changes to some [[power structure]], even a trivial power structure.  Since [[trolls]] already [[driven off by trolls|drove off]] the former [[Chief Editor]] [[Larry Sanger]] it seems entirely reasonable that they could actually drive off Wales as well.
