-== Description ==
-'''Lumeniki''' is a wiki dealing with what they call [http://lumeniki.referata.com/wiki/Lumenism Lumenism], as of 30th July there is only one editor.  It is difficult to describe without being able to link to all the neologisms. (I'm in the process of improving this article.)
+[[Lumeniki]] uses a research methodology known as [http://lumeniki.referata.com/wiki/Lumenism Lumenism]. As of 30th July there is only one editor, Lumenos, which means that the research topics are Lumenos' interests including:
+* Philosophy:
+** Value theory: Lumenos invented consequism to define benefit and evaluate moral systems, societies, or gods, according to their benevolence and to distinguish this sort of evaluation from moralistic fallacy.
+** Lumism describes Lumenos most undeniable perceptions and questions. From this framework is built Lumenosity (an eclectic religion incorporating elements of intelligent design, liberal Christianity, Shamanism, etc) and Lumentialism (an atheistic philosophy similar to existentialism).
+* Home economics:
+** Lumenos interviews an engineer who has a new method for backyard solar electricity generation using a converted steam engine.
+** Converting waste into food. Ummm yummy!
+** A guide to the cheapest mp3 players.
+** A guide to booting a normal Windows installation as a virtual machine.
+Question: Why do we need yet another wiki?
+"[[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 09:14, 30 July 2009 (EDT) Lumeniki is the only wiki I know of with these qualities:
+* Wikiforum
+* Copysate license. This avoids many of the totalitarian requirements of default  intellectual property rights but entitles developers to a royalty on any '''profits''' made by anyone else, using their work. (Some wikis may allow custom licenses for articles, however. Wikinfo might. I might move some or all the content there.)
+Wikipedia does not officially allow:
+* Original research
+* Information from self-published sources."
