Ok. This is a Blog, blog is just a web page where all the content is in reverse chronological order (kinda redundant: a blog in a wiki, but I'll see if this works). You may comment on posts if you like, but please be sensible and do it on the [[User_talk:Juxo/Blog|talk page]]

Ok, I guess that todays additions are enough for you over-advantaged info junkies. I'm especially exited about the addition of [[future product]]s to [[campaign]]able issues: It works in numerous ways and directions.

No. I still haven't thought this thing through, but even I have lot's of problems figuring out where to find stuff in this Wiki eventhough I've written most of the articles, so that is a clear signal that we are in need of some serious housekeeping here. 

After the introduction of the [[Time to rewrite half of the pages on the wiki|The revised design paradigm]] the plan is roughly that '''facts''' should go to the [[Content Wiki]] and '''opinions''' should go to the [[The Consumerium Exchange]] and over half of the articles contain totally outdated and misleading "information" 

This wiki needs to be in a coherent state. Currently this is so messy that the mess propably inhibits us from aqcuiring new contributors (not that I have actually ever advertised the concept anywhere outside of the 'pedia, word-of-mouth and a few casual emails).

This shit is complicated! The interaction between The Backend, The Content Wiki and The Consumerium Exchange and the UI of the Consumer is a really problematic question.

I wonder what's going on. [[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 19:21 Oct 4, 2003 (EEST)

My brain just got overloaded. BBL. [[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 19:32 Oct 4, 2003 (EEST)

[[User:Juxo/Thiking aloud]]??? maybe i should sleep every now and then ;)

Hmm. Tidying this wiki is turning out to be not simple. I should really write some summaries so that people who are just getting introduced to this could quickly grasp the general "feel", but instead i seem to wonder around the wiki fixing one think and breaking two or more at the same time ;)

I'll go to sleep now and the [[troll]]s will fix everything while I'm asleep. yes?

I must take some time to think about The Consumerium Concept as a whole...hmm....like...hwo do i expalin this when i'm not sure what are the questions i should be asking.... Simplicity and Elaborate being to poles, gotta figure out the trajectory... or something. 

This is a very delicate waypoint in the development process, so [[w:Chaos theory|here is a link]] and [[w:Sleep|here is an another]]. If you gotta troll, please be gentle this time. Mmkay??

There are plenty of outdated pages, lots of unresolved issues and propably even more questions that have not even been voiced publicly that have to be tackled before we can even dream of moving on to an implementation stage, but we are going to get there one day. Please help if you can.

Now that most of the theoretical building blocks seem to be somewhere around here it's time to start figuring out how to make it work in practice, which raises a horde of open questions. I will try my best to deal with the numerous rising issues, but not today. The rigidness offered by [[XML]] solutions combined with the flexibility of [[Wiki]]code might be a good solution for storing and serving content. Must think about this some more before trying to write out an implementation plan. 

:Look into [http://tikiwiki.sourceforge.net tikiwiki] and MoinMoinWiki (a Python thing).  Both are far more flexible than this wikipedia3 stuff, and more scalable.  I think the general move is to tikiwiki in the larger world.  So we should move to it, too.

::I looked into TikiWiki 1.4 back in the day when I was trying to find a CMS to do this R&D stuff and at least then it was slow and bloated with features we don't need. And besides there is a strong need (from the Consumerium point of view) to interact with [[Wikipedia]] and other sites running MediaWiki so we shouldn't move to TikiWiki for the time being.

Since none of the [[troll]]s have objected to the framework of [[The Consumerium Exchange]] I wrote down earlier on I guess it is time to move on to the details, which have to be carefully crafted to keep the voting process '''simple''' yet '''resistant to tampering'''.

::It's not a bad starting point, as it stands.  Might as well work out more details.

There are numerous other issues that have to be re-evaluated due to the change of the design paradigm from [[XML]] to [[Wiki]] for the actual content. Propably the most prominent problems being the [[features|multi-language/Internationalization issue]].

And one more thing: [[I need a job]] cause like being unemployed (read: without "permanent" source of buying power) kinda hampers my motivation to do this stuff. So if you know someone who needs an employee please tell them that I'm available.

Last night I slept and with surprising peacefullness I slept. And sleeping is nice. Perhaps I should eat too?

Don't email me for a while. My pass is spoofed or the stupid operator disabled my account for some reason. [[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 17:33 Sep 1, 2003 (EEST)

Rerouted, though I don't know if the account it's going to now is active yet. [[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 17:38 Sep 1, 2003 (EEST)
