Consumeria - Enhancing consumer informedness
Welcome, newcomers to English language Consumeria wiki BETA, where ecological awareness, fairtrade, political consumerism, better shopping and moral purchasing trends, all essential to our philosophy, are being pieced together into what we call moral purchasing power.
The founding of The Consumeria Effort in 2007 was made possible by almost 5 years of research & development and arduous digging into governance systems/valuation/trust issues in The Consumerium development project (hint: hit the Random page over there untill you stumble upon something worth reading). Consumerium was visited from over 80 countries and scored very high in Google Page Rank in it's operation from April 2002 to November 2006. Big thanks to everyone who contributed. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://develop.consumerium.org offers some interesting views to the general spirit of the development work.

Consumeria plans to feature dual (direct and representational) open or closed, dissensus (as opposed to consensus) voting systems that provide 4 distinct results for resilience to information warfare. Unfortunatelly for now automatic vote counting and review collation are not operational.
