The '''Develop Wiki''' or '''Development Wiki''', formerly known as '''R&D wiki''', is where [[software development concepts]], [[wiki management]] problems, etc., are discussed.  Eventually other material will be spun off into [[Research Wiki]] which will be a [[large public wiki]] with slightly better [[wiki governance]] under the supervision of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].
The '''Develop Wiki''', formerly known as '''Development Wiki''' or '''R&D wiki''', is where [[software development concepts]], [[wiki management]] problems, etc., are discussed.  It will always reliably be found at [http://develop.consumerium.org develop.consumerium.org] by any reasonable protocol ([[HTTP]], [[FTP]], [[IRC]] etc.).
 
Eventually other material will be spun off into [[Research Wiki]] which will be a [[large public wiki]] with slightly better [[wiki governance]] under the supervision of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].


Meanwhile, the [[Publish Wiki]] will have only the exact data required to generate the [[Consumerium buying signal]].  Nothing will get to this wiki until it has been debated thoroughly as research, and accepted by at least one [[faction]] as affecting [[individual buying criteria]] for those that trust them to make such decisions.

:Name choice:  The name [[signal wiki]] better matches [[Consumerium buying signal]], "[[buying signal wiki]]" would be even clearer.

:Name choice: [[research wiki]] just admits that the opinions we share here are just as valid as the ones one might find in [[Wikipedia]], probably more so, since we really care about solving a [[user-land]] problem, and they don't.

1. Stupid idea proposed in '''Develop Wiki''' - [[trolls]] attack;  Slightly less stupid ideas evolve like bacteria;  Years of stupidity and trashing ideas might lead to one good [[90 day sprint]] ever year, two or three [[30 day sprint]]s, and maybe five or six [[14 day sprint]]s.  Maybe three to five man years of work per year of [[software development]].
1. Stupid idea proposed in '''Develop Wiki''' - [[trolls]] attack, [[gnawing]] it;  Slightly less stupid ideas evolve like bacteria into undisputed [[gnawlij]];  Years of stupidity and trashing ideas might lead to one good [[90 day sprint]] ever year, two or three [[30 day sprint]]s, and maybe five or six [[14 day sprint]]s.  Maybe three to five man years of work per year of [[software development]].


2. Based on arguments about above, [[power structure]] evolves in [[Development Wiki]] with loose idea of who will recruit [[trolls]] from where to support what position;  Agreement on how to make sure that real user needs, [[random facts]], and other [[user-land]] concerns are respected.  For instance, limiting the total number of trolls to recruit from some [[large public wiki]], or requiring the [[faction]] to go find and pay some poor people (even [[cheap outsourced coder]]s) to disagree with them and their [[developed-world point of view]].  Agreements are informal.
