    This is what Consumerium is not:

    • a general purpose discussion blog
    • an anarchist experiment
    • a playground for "Wikipedians" - especially for banned Wikipedia ex-users who seek to spew their anti-Wikipedia polemics all over the place
    • any of the essential projects - we dont compete with them to do the work they do, and we hope they are wise enough not to compete with us and will work with us instead
    • free software necessarily, nor necessarily even open source, nor a representative of any particular ideology - we deliberately let Consumerium Governance Organization and eventually an independent board decide what software license options should be placed on what aspects of this system - if you disagree, well, the entire R&D wiki is GFDL, so fork off!
