less confusing, remove claiming vague concepts and general adherence to them, less disorientative, more focused for working better with the current estimateable attention span.

[[Consumerium]] is a not-for-profit project, developed under [[GFDL]] [[licences|license]], to develop [[w:free software|free software]] and [[Hardware Requirements|infrastructure]] for storage, transport and display of varying levels of [[Features|product information]] to [[consumer]]s at the [[point of purchase]]. 
[[Consumerium]] is a not-for-profit project, developed under [[GFDL]] [[licences|license]], to develop [[w:free software|free software]] and [[Hardware Requirements|infrastructure]] for storage, transport and display of varying levels of [[Features|product information]] to [[consumer]]s via [[short-range wireless]] or as an offline service to the shelf front and [[feedback]] to the [[producer]]s to enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible for human and other natural life.
 
It is one of several [[essential projects]] that will make [[moral purchasing]] a daily reality.  Consumerium focuses this '''''[[moral purchasing power]]'''''.
 
Advice will probably be seen by the [[end user]] as a [[red light|red]]/[[yellow light|yellow]]/[[green light]] traffic-type signal, or as a [[score]] easily translated into a [[price premium]], or as a note in [[Simple English]] about issues with, or merits of, the product.  All rely on [[opinion wiki]] comments compiled by software using a [[wikitext standard]].  [[Semantic link]] standards may be required also.
 
In any case, the release of this advice is keyed to [[bar code]]s, and may rely on frequently updated data embedded in hand-held devices, and/or dynamic retrieval via [[short-range wireless]] to the shelf front.  Where possible, reasons for making buying decisions, or refusing a certain product, will go as [[feedback]] to the [[producer]]s.  This will enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and keep this planet as hospitable as possible for human and other natural life.
 
The alternative, of course, is for us all to be blissfully [[ignorant]].
