Welcome to unCapitali.se - We are a wiki based on a specific subset of knowledge. Unlike Wikipedia.org, we do not seek to write about all knowledge under the sun. Our goal is specific: to report on the relationships between a company and its' products, shareholders, host community, vendors, workers and the government via lobbyists, politicians, and Political Action Committees (PACs). The idea is to use this information not to create a complete picture of the business or its history and activities, but rather to cut through the advertising mythology and corporate assertions to form objective and qualitative synopses. These synopses will form the basis of a corporate, product, owner, donor and politician scores.

To learn more about our who we are, our business scoring model, or how you can help, please visit our unCapitali.se wiki page.

Developments

In this first discussion of developments, the following accomplishments can be summarized:

  • Significant progress on the business scoring model and automation of data collection
  • A draft business plan was completed
  • The instance of wikimedia server software was installed
  • Hosting was initiated & the wiki is live
  • The domain name was purchased
  • Significant progress was made in soliciting:
    • Vendors
    • Volunteers
    • Writers

Initial discussions continue to attract technical people as well as those incensed by recent government activities amounting to unconstitutional overreach in Minnesota.

Internal structure of the wikimedia product has proven to be a steeper curve than anticipated, but the progress on setting up a demonstration of the concept is underway. Further information can be found in the Proposed Projects section on this Main Page.

Proposed Projects

Started Project - Work Needed to Affect Completion

  • Walmart
    • Apply Revised Scoring Rubric to Researched Passages
    • Calculate Score & Generate Code for Summary & Full Scoring Boxes

Proposed Projects

Next Up

unCapitali.se has a 1 and 5 year business plan that aggressively call for the information we collect, and the partnerships we forge, to bring about change. It is not enough to write articles and to score businesses. We intend to use this information to educate our members on the quality of their purchases and effects these purchases have on their communities and the world.

To that end, we have engaged an application developer to assist in creating a mobile application that will:

  • Assist users in scanning product codes to see product level scoring, and to assist in capturing uncatalogued products
  • Assist users in comparing products
  • Recommend product alternatives

As we move from through the growth phase of the wiki into applying summarized data, some of you may be asked to assist in beta testing the application so that we can affect a phased roll out of the application to a wider group of member/users.
