Currently [[research]] is dispersed to multiple sites such as [[Wikipedia]] for generic, encyclopedic information, [[CorpKnowPedia]] for information on corporations and [[Wiktionary]] for translation needs. This is not a problem since all points of research are licensed under [[GFDL]]

==Opinions==
Note:  there is no [[ontological distinction]] between research and opinion:  research is the opinion of a researcher.  And anyone can be a "researcher".  Thus, opinions are indistinguishable from other forms of research - except that one could say "facts are research, and analysis is opinion.  [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]].  These are part of "research" but clearly marked. They are often drawn from outside text, in the form of [[campaign]]s for and against some entity, such as [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]) or a piece of [[advertising]] which is clearly promotional.  An opinion starts as the lowest-credibility form of research and those who provide it will often be engaged with the [[Lowest Troll]] to determine if the authors or transmitters or republishers are [[funded troll]]s being paid to trash or promote some commercial service.
The [[Opinion Wiki]] is for [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]] but mere opinions of people. Mostly these opinions are stated as [[campaign]]s for and against some entity, such as [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]) or a piece of [[advertising]].

[[Publish Wiki]] will be updated from [[Research Wiki]] and [[Opinion Wiki]] upon approval by designated people. How the approval process works and how it may be reversed is a key question that needs to be solved before we proceed to the [[future]].  
[[Publish Wiki]] will be updated from [[Research Wiki]] and [[Opinion Wiki]] upon approval by some algorithm that probably involves both trusted people and formal algorithms. ''How the approval process works and how it may be reversed is a key question that needs to be solved before we proceed to the [[future]] - see [[answer recommendation]], [[edits, votes and bets]] for some approaches.''


We will start with the English language Publish Wiki and other languages will be set up when there is demand.

An important test of the publish wiki is that it must be able to filter out the opinions the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] can't sanction from the research that it exists to broadcast.  That can't be done by simply asking or requiring that contributors "properly" label it!  Neutrality is always a fight.
