[[Consumerium:Itself|Consumerium itself]] is a not-for-profit effort to enable '''display''' of '''[[Features|product information]]''' to '''[[consumer]]s''' and '''[[feedback]]''' to '''producers''' and their '''owners''' in '''all [[countries of the world]]''' to enhance the consumer experience and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible. To this end Consumerium is compiling information on the '''[[countries of the world]]''', '''[[technologies]]''', [[Consumerium list of lists#Consumerium lists of consumer convenience services|convenience services for the consumer]] and [[Consumerium list of lists|more]].

Our intent is to provide '''[[Knowledge graphs|a knowledge graph]]'''  and '''[[services]]''' for which we need [[infrastructure]] built with '''[[technologies]]'''. 

[[Consumerium:Welcome, newcomers|Welcome, newcomers]] to our set of &lt;font color="blue"&gt; {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}&lt;/font&gt; [[Consumerium]] Effort [[development wiki]] [[Special:Allpages|articles]] crafted in the spirit of [[Consumerium:We|our]] [[Consumerium:philosophy|philosophy]] where [[fairtrade]], [[Human rights and business|human rights in business]], [[political consumerism]], [[copyleft]], [[free software]], [[moral purchasing]], [[w:consumer activism|w:consumer activism]] and [[w:Activist shareholder|w:shareholder activism]] are close to the core.

We are collaborating under the [[GFDL]] [[licenses|license]], to design a [[healthy buying infrastructure]].  We are identifying [[hardware requirements]] for [[wiki|storage]], transport and display of varying levels of '''[[features|product information]] to [[consumer]]s''' and '''[[feedback]] to [[producer]]s''' at the [[point of purchase]] to enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible.
