There is little consensus on this issue yet, and some terms are [[factionally defined]]. ''An alternative name [[Research Wiki]] has been proposed for this function, recognizing that there is some overlap between the R&D wiki function and the long-term need to track trends in terminology, [[faction]] debates and discovery of what is actually considered [[fair]] for the [[Content Wiki]] (or [[Signal Wiki]] in the alternative naming scheme) versus what is "subjective".'' | |||

Some see opinions as most objectively expressed in a "market" form... but [[The Consumerium Exchange]], some complain, is a misleading name for this facility, which is about '''expressing opinions and support or the lack of for the expressed opinions'''. It does not translate well at all - hence | People express opinions in all sorts of ways, and when they really believe in those opinions they are likely to give them names like "research" to indicate they really are willing to [[bet]] some reputation or [[credibility]] on them. Other ways to express opinions are to [[vote]] or to [[hurt]] someone or [[sabotage]] something. All of these are ways to express opinions, but if we all use the hurting or sabotaging method, we will not have a civilization long. So it's always very important to figure out how we can [[bet]] or [[vote]] on something, or at best quietly [[sabotage]] something bad without pretending we are all morally right to do so, to avoid having to [[hurt]] any body. | ||
Political ideologies tend to say there is one "best way" to do this. Some, sometimes called "[[w:right-wing politics|right-wing]]" see opinions as most objectively expressed in a "market" form... but [[The Consumerium Exchange]], some complain, is a misleading name for this facility, which is about '''expressing opinions and support or the lack of for the expressed opinions'''. It does not translate well at all - hence we use '''opinion''' for now, and maybe consider that '''opinion''' can be seen as '''research''' by those who really believe in the premises that the original researcher has had. | |||
Whatever we call it, it will be a [[large public wiki]] with the special problems of that type of communication. Including choosing a good name. | |||
As mentioned in [[Campaign#Campaign Management|Campaign]], campaign management may be best organized by wiki. This would be simple and straightforward for the campaigners. It would require only a low-end browser to contribute to the [[semantic web of views]]. No fixed email address would be required. Many client software variations might work. | As mentioned in [[Campaign#Campaign Management|Campaign]], campaign management may be best organized by wiki.
