Without this, your namespaces aren't coherent across [[Consumerium Services]]: | |||
===MediaWiki-namespace=== | |||
This is a new feature in [[MediaWiki]]. It is a namespace for storing and accessing large number of short items quickly. All <nowiki>[[MediaWiki:]]</nowiki> entries are stored in RAM and can be modified on the fly by sysops. MediaWiki-namespace items have the possibility to use variable-subsitution which is really useful for displaying [[campaign]] stats in [[Opinion Wiki]] articles among other things. | This is a new feature in [[MediaWiki]].

==Content autogeneration== | |||
Without this, you aren't sure that you're coordinating two articles about the same thing. | |||
===Content autogeneration=== | |||
We need to have a module for generating and identifying information coming from the [[Consumerium Vault]], wherein information is verified by staff. Also reacting to editing of autogenrated content (if made possible) has to be dealt with. | We need to have a module for generating and identifying information coming from the [[Consumerium Vault]], wherein information is verified by staff.

===Middleware connection with Opinion Wiki edits=== | |||
Edits to the [[Opinion Wiki]] have to be screened by middleware software to update the composite view of the wiki eg. changes in [[vote]]s or [[score]]s | |||

Without this, you can't keep track of who is who in the various wikis, or do: | |||

===Article signing=== | |||
The software has to be extended to enable organisations and individuals to sign any version of any article in the [[Content Wiki]] with GnuPG or other keys. This is essential to maintain the [[integrity]] of the recorded information. Some people may want to see the live wiki, understanding the possible hazards in it, but most will likely want some level of assurance from authorative parties on the correctness of the information | |||
