'''Consumerium''' is a not-for-profit project, being designed under GFDL license, to develop free software and infrastructure for storage, transport and display of varying levels of product information to consumers at the point of purchase. | |||
Consumerium is using [[Mediawiki]] for its R&D work very succesfully since [[w:March|March]] [[w:10|10]] [[w:2003|2003]]. | |||
The [http://www.consumerium.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Design_paradigm current design paradigm] is aiming towards a highly wikified operational system to avoid [[w:technocrat|technocrat]]s from hi-jacking all the power and trying to ensure equal rights of expression. | |||

#[http://www.consumerium.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Content_Wiki Content Wiki] for objective, [[NPOV]] information on products and many aspects of production. | |||
#[http://www.consumerium.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Opinion_Wiki Opionion Wiki] for expressing subjective views. | |||
There is discussion between alternate wiki platforms though [[Mediawiki]] is the most likely candidate due to the following reasons: | |||
#Mediawiki has proven to handle heavy load situations in [[Wikipedia]] | |||
#The Mediawiki "social club" (developers and hang arounds) has been very friendly and helpful in fulfilling our platform needs for R&D purposes and hopefully this friendship will continue | |||
#Smooth interaction between [[Wikipedia]], [[Wiktionary]], [[SourceWatch]] (formerly [[Disinfopedia]]), [[Wikibooks]], [[Wikicompany]], [[Wikitravel]], [[CorpKnowPedia]], Consumerium and other essential projects is very important. | |||
Consumerium may contribute to a [[wikitext]] standard. | |||
