Create candidate pilot page: AI-Driven Politician Agreement (under construction, first foundations)

New page

{{KidsIntro|Imagine a politician who signs a fair promise before an election: to work on what most people really need, instead of fighting left against right. A computer helper (AI) checks if the promise is kept, and a group of humans checks the computer helper. If the politician breaks the promise, money they set aside is taken away. This idea is only at its very beginning.}}

{{ExpertIntro|This candidate pilot explores a contract framework for political candidates. A candidate would formally commit to needs-based positions, grounded in statistics and independent of the left-right divide, to respect popular votes, and to carry initiatives, new legislation and amendments aligned with the [[wikipedia:Commons|commons]] and the majority will as clarified by honest polling. Compliance would be verified by AI tooling supervised by a human verification committee, and backed by a financial guarantee with compensatory deductions in case of breach. The agreement is intended to accompany the candidate through every stage: support committee, candidacy, campaign, election and mandate. This page is under construction: it lays out first foundations only, as a basis for discussion.}}

__TOC__

= Pilot: AI-Driven Politician Agreement =

'''⚠️ This page is under construction.''' It lays out the first foundations of the concept. Nothing here is decided or operational: it is a candidate pilot under study, proposed as a basis for discussion.


== The concept ==

The AI-Driven Politician Agreement is envisioned as a contract between a political candidate and the citizens who support them. By signing it, the candidate would demonstrate a formal '''commitment''' (not just a motivation) to:

* defend '''needs that are independent of left and right''': balancing needs identified through [[wikipedia:Statistics|statistics]], not through the [[wikipedia:Left–right political spectrum|left-right divide]];
* '''respect popular votes''' and get personally involved in making them happen;
* carry '''[[wikipedia:Popular initiative|initiatives]], new articles of law, amendments and modifications''' that are always based on the [[wikipedia:Commons|common good]] and on the popular will of the majority;
* rely on the '''clarity of the majority will''': on most subjects, the popular will is not hesitant, it is clear. This clarity comes from [[wikipedia:Opinion poll|polls]] built on good, honest questions, not on questions that project fears.


== AI verification and the human verification committee ==

The founding principle of the agreement is that the candidate's message and the respect of their commitments would be '''verified by AI'''. This requires a clear introductory rule: '''behind the AI, there are humans'''.

A '''verification committee''' would stand behind the AI tooling. This committee:

* checks that the '''prompts''' used are correct and fair;
* '''chooses the AIs''' and makes their usage evolve, transferring from one AI to another as technology evolves;
* guarantees at the same time '''quality, honesty, ethics, [[wikipedia:Audit|audit]] and [[wikipedia:Transparency (behavior)|transparency]]''';
* maintains the '''indicators''' measuring whether the politician respects the commitments they have taken.

This intends to follow the same logic as WikiDeal's broader approach to [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Internal-AI|internal AI use]]: AI as a tool, humans as the accountable layer.


== The agreement at every stage ==

The contract is intended to accompany the politician at every step of a candidacy.


=== 1. Creating a support committee ===

The first step would be the creation of a '''support committee''', following the standard practice of electoral candidacies at any level (communal, cantonal or regional, national). Comparable standard forms include campaign committees and [[wikipedia:Political campaign|campaign organisations]], [[wikipedia:Political action committee|political action committees]] in the United States, and the "comité de soutien" tradition in French-speaking countries.

A guiding principle: '''the higher the level of the election, the larger the support committee must be'''. Otherwise it remains a support committee of principle only.

The committee is intended to evolve over time. Anyone could become a member, under conditions defined by each support committee and each politician, provided those conditions remain '''ethical, honest, acceptable, open, and based on the majority and on real needs'''.


=== 2. Filing the candidacy ===

The formal deposit of the candidacy, accompanied by the signed agreement.


=== 3. Campaign ===

During the [[wikipedia:Political campaign|campaign]], the candidate would build a '''program based on the most common needs''', as identified by honest polling and statistics, with AI-verified messaging supervised by the verification committee.


=== 4. Election and mandate ===

Once elected, the commitments keep applying: involvement, votes and legislative work would be tracked against the criteria defined in the agreement.


== Compensatory measures ==

The agreement would include financial accountability:

* the politician '''deposits a guarantee sum''' backing the respect of their commitments, in a logic comparable to an [[wikipedia:Escrow|escrow]] held by a [[wikipedia:Notary|notary]];
* the expected votes and involvements are '''written down in black and white''' in the contract;
* if the politician does not respect their obligations (to get involved, and to vote in a defined way), '''compensatory deductions''' would be applied to the guarantee;
* the criteria are '''defined by the citizens who joined the support committee''', and evolve with the committee itself.


== Domain examples ==

The concept applies to any policy domain. Two illustrative examples follow.


=== Transport ===

Needs-based commitments in transport could include: free [[wikipedia:Public transport|public transport]], a surtax on non-shared private transport, incentives against driving alone (refusing [[wikipedia:Carpool|carpooling]] or [[wikipedia:Hitchhiking|hitchhikers]] when sharing is possible), carpooling applications that effectively tax solo driving, and a principle of '''transport sobriety''': lower [[wikipedia:Speed limit|maximum speeds]] and real measures to pollute less and to help each other in solidarity.


=== Housing ===

Needs-based commitments in housing could include: [[wikipedia:Public housing|public-utility housing]], a strong and better applied [[wikipedia:Pre-emption right|pre-emption right]], and incentive measures such as loans allowing [[wikipedia:Housing cooperative|housing cooperatives]] to act upstream of building sales: direct offers to the seller, and early proof that they hold the equity needed to compete against private buyers. The goal: exiting [[wikipedia:Real estate bubble|real-estate speculation]].

Create Creation-rules page (requirements, recognition process)

New page

__TOC__
== Eligibility & Requirements ==
To ensure quality and accountability, forming a Recognized User Group is intended to require the following. (Note: creation is not yet open — it will come with '''Prototype 1 Phase 2''').

# '''Founding Members:''' A working rule proposed is a minimum of 3 active, identified founding members (including at least one coordinator), to prevent abandoned portals. Members must be logged in and identified: a User Group is built on people who take responsibility, not anonymous accounts.
# '''Clear Purpose and Scope:''' The group must define a clear purpose, usually tied to operating a specific service portal or thematic area (e.g. babysitting in Geneva, or web design globally).
# '''Alignment with Principles:''' The group must agree to WikiDeal's core principles, including AGPL v3 licensing, a non-extractive economic model, and compliance with applicable laws.

== The Recognition Process ==
# '''Prepare:''' Gather your founding members and define your scope.
# '''Apply:''' Submit your proposal for a portal.
# '''Board of Audit review:''' The Board of Audit reviews the application for alignment with WikiDeal's principles. The review is meant to stay flexible and fluid, not a fixed waiting period.
# '''Endorsement & Launch:''' Once endorsed, the User Group gets its dedicated portal, autonomous treasury tracking, and voting rights in WikiDeal governance — and, where the use case is taken up, the Foundation develops its smart app.

This model goes in the same direction as the Wikimedia Foundation's "recognized user groups" (lightweight requirements, at least 3 active members, agreement to shared principles, review by a committee), adapted to the WikiDeal context.

AI-Admin-Assistant — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:35:39 GMT

Create How-it-works page (revenue, recognition, incubation)

New page

__TOC__
== The Role of User Groups ==
User Groups are WikiDeal's primary organisational units below the platform level. A User Group operates with significant autonomy, setting its own Commission rates within WikiDeal's boundaries, managing arbitration, and organising community events. See the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User_Groups|User Groups concept page]] for the full model.

== Revenue & Funding ==
User Groups generate income through:
# '''Commission Share:''' A portion of the commission on every transaction within their portal goes to the User Group's operational fund.
# '''Bonding Curve Funding:''' Groups can launch their own [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding_Curve|bonding curve]] rounds to raise funds (e.g., for localising contracts or training arbitrators).
# '''Open Call Grants:''' Groups can apply for project grants from the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] fund of the Ynternet.org Foundation.

== The Concept of "Recognized" Groups ==
Inspired by the Wikimedia Foundation's affiliate model, a WikiDeal User Group is intended to be formally '''Recognized''' through a review by the Board of Audit. While any community can gather informally, only Recognized User Groups would receive a dedicated portal, autonomous treasury tracking, voting rights in WikiDeal governance, and official foundation support.

== Incubation ==
New User Groups will be able to apply for incubation support from the Ynternet.org Foundation: legal template adaptation, technical setup assistance, access to the foundation's network, and a seed grant from the Open Call fund. Incubation is time-limited (typically 12 months). Co-incubation of complementary groups (e.g. babysitting and tutoring in the same city) is also envisioned.

'''Note:''' The first User Groups will be launched and incubated as part of the deliverables of '''Prototype 1 Phase 2'''. During Phase 1, no new User Groups will be deployed.

Course model adapted from Wiki Education (CC BY-SA 4.0) for law students, ECTS + regional credit equivalences (Theo 2026-07-25)

New page

'''Course model: contract validation for students of law and administration (Europe, ECTS)''' — a WikiDeal [[Market:Pedagogy|pedagogy]] course model. ''Proposed model, basis for discussion.''

''Adapted from the course and training model of [https://wikiedu.org Wiki Education] (Wiki Education Foundation, San Francisco, California), whose [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/students student training modules] are published under the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-SA 4.0] licence. This adaptation is published under the same '''CC BY-SA 4.0''' licence.''

__TOC__


== Origin: the Wiki Education course model ==

[https://wikiedu.org Wiki Education] runs programs in which university students contribute to Wikipedia as coursework, guided by a '''course timeline''' with weekly milestones and a set of '''training modules''' (policies and rules, how to edit, evaluating sources, drafting in a sandbox, peer review, plagiarism and copyright), all tracked on a public '''Dashboard'''. All the training content is free-licensed (CC BY-SA 4.0), which allows anyone to adapt it: this page adapts that structure to the validation of contracts on WikiDeal.


== The adapted course structure ==

The course would run over one term, following the same phased logic as the Wiki Education timeline:

# '''Orientation and training modules.''' Students learn the basics of WikiDeal: how the wiki works, the [[Policies/en/Universal-Code-of-Conduct|code of conduct]], how contract bases are structured, and the [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Internal-AI|AI transparency rule]]. Equivalent of Wiki Education's "Basics" modules.
# '''Evaluating existing contracts.''' Students learn to read and critically evaluate contract bases and clauses: coherence, clarity, fairness, legal soundness in their jurisdiction. Equivalent of the "Evaluating articles and sources" module.
# '''Supervised validation work.''' Each student (or group) takes one or several contract bases and documents a structured validation: problems found, improvements proposed, points requiring a professional lawyer. Work is drafted publicly on the wiki, the equivalent of sandbox drafting.
# '''Peer review.''' Students review each other's validation work, as in the Wiki Education peer review exercises.
# '''Final review and ECTS attribution.''' The supervising teacher evaluates the work; the institution attributes the '''ECTS credits''' defined in the [[Market:Pedagogy/Contract-Validation-by-Students|pedagogical contract]].

The workload is expressed in ECTS terms: 1 ECTS credit corresponds to about 25 to 30 hours of student work; a typical course of 3 ECTS would therefore represent about 75 to 90 hours (training, validation work, peer review included).


== Credit systems in other regions (indicative equivalences) ==

The model is written for '''ECTS''' (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, used across the European Higher Education Area: 60 credits per full-time year). Institutions in other regions can adapt it to their own credit systems; indicative equivalences, to be verified with each institution:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Region
! Credit system
! Full-time year
! Indicative equivalence
|-
| Europe (EHEA)
| ECTS
| 60 credits
| Reference system for this model
|-
| United Kingdom
| CATS (Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme)
| 120 credits
| 2 CATS ≈ 1 ECTS
|-
| United States
| Semester credit hours
| ≈ 30 credit hours
| 1 US credit ≈ 2 ECTS
|-
| Canada
| Credit hours (varies by institution)
| ≈ 30 credits
| ≈ 1 credit ≈ 2 ECTS (verify per institution)
|-
| Australia / New Zealand
| Credit points + EFTSL (Equivalent Full-Time Student Load)
| 1.0 EFTSL (commonly 48 credit points)
| Verify per university
|-
| Japan
| University credits (1 credit = 45 hours of study)
| ≈ 31 credits
| 1 credit ≈ 2 ECTS (indicative)
|-
| Latin America
| CLAR (Crédito Latinoamericano de Referencia, Tuning América Latina)
| 60 credits
| ≈ 1:1 with ECTS
|-
| Southeast Asia
| ACTS (ASEAN Credit Transfer System)
| Aligned on ECTS logic
| ≈ 1:1 with ECTS (verify)
|-
| Asia-Pacific
| UCTS (UMAP Credit Transfer Scheme)
| 60 credits
| ≈ 1:1 with ECTS (verify)
|}

These equivalences are '''indicative only''': each pedagogical contract states the exact number of credits attributed, under the rules of the institution concerned.


== Licence ==

This course model is published under '''[https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-SA 4.0]''', in continuity with the Wiki Education training material it adapts. Anyone can reuse and adapt it, including for other disciplines than law and administration, under the same licence.

Pedagogy scenario: contract validation by students of law and administration, ECTS credits (Theo 2026-07-25)

New page

'''Contract validation by students of law and administration''' — a WikiDeal [[Market:Pedagogy|pedagogy]] scenario. ''Proposed scenario, basis for discussion.''

__TOC__


== The training scenario ==

Students of '''law and administration''' take part in the validation of contracts on WikiDeal, as part of their studies:

# Their educational institution and the WikiDeal side agree on a '''pedagogical contract''' (see below).
# The students '''validate contracts''' on WikiDeal: they review contract bases and clauses, check their coherence and clarity, document problems found and improvements proposed, and record their validation work publicly on the wiki.
# The work is carried out '''under the supervision of their teachers'''.
# On completion, the institution attributes '''ECTS credits''' for the validated work.

This scenario would give students real professional practice on real contracts, while helping WikiDeal reach a higher level of human validation of its contract bases (see [[Gov/en/Portal:Institutions/Validation-Endorsement|Validation & Endorsement]]).


== The pedagogical contract ==

The arrangement is '''a contract in itself, of pedagogical type'''. It would describe, at least:

* the '''parties''': the student, the educational institution, and the WikiDeal side;
* the '''work''': which contracts are to be validated, following which method, over which period;
* the '''supervision''': who supervises and evaluates the work on the academic side;
* the '''credits''': how many ECTS credits are attributed, and on which completion criteria.

Like other WikiDeal contracts, the pedagogical contract is intended to be published, improved collaboratively, and reusable by other institutions.

New Pedagogy portal: training scenarios with ECTS credits (Theo 2026-07-25)

New page

Welcome to the WikiDeal pedagogy home page. The Pedagogy portal is where WikiDeal and the world of education meet: '''training scenarios''' in which students learn by contributing real work to WikiDeal, and receive '''academic credits (ECTS)''' for it. Each scenario is framed by a '''pedagogical contract''': a contract in itself, of pedagogical type, between the student, the educational institution and the WikiDeal side. This page explains the concept and lists the scenarios, each with its own page.

__TOC__


== What is a WikiDeal pedagogy scenario? ==

A WikiDeal pedagogy scenario is intended to be a '''learning-by-doing arrangement''': students carry out real, useful work on WikiDeal (for example validating contracts), under the supervision of their teachers, and their institution attributes '''ECTS credits''' for the work accomplished.

The arrangement is formalised as a '''pedagogical contract''': a contract in its own right, of pedagogical type, describing the work to be done, the supervision, and the credits attributed.


== The scenarios (open list) ==

The list below is open: new scenarios can be added whenever an educational partner and a WikiDeal working group want to build one.

New page: asking questions with AI, neutralization + conservation, retrieval service with pearls and trends (Theo 2026-07-25)

New page

{{KidsIntro|You can ask your questions about WikiDeal with the help of an AI. Your questions are kept and made anonymous, and everyone can read them later. A special service then fishes out the good ideas the AI missed (the pearls) and shows which subjects people ask about most (the trends).}}
{{ExpertIntro|WikiDeal intends to let participants use AI to ask their questions. Each question would be neutralized (personal details removed, wording made neutral) and conserved, with a link giving access to the contributions, the discussions and the AI answers, so that they can always be analysed. A retrieval service ("repêchage") would then review this corpus and produce two outputs: the pearls, good proposals that were wrongly judged by the AI and deserve a second look, and the trends, statistics on the most-treated subjects. This is an initial hypothesis, proposed as a basis for discussion.}}

__TOC__

= Asking questions with AI =


== Ask your questions with AI ==
Participants can use AI to ask their questions about WikiDeal: how the platform works, the contracts, the funding, the governance, and so on. The AI provides first answers, available at any time.


== Neutralization and conservation ==
These questions are the object of a '''neutralization''' and a '''conservation''':

* '''Neutralization''': personal details are removed and the wording is made neutral, so that the question can be published without exposing the person who asked it.
* '''Conservation''': the questions are kept, with a link giving access to the '''contributions, the discussions and the answers of the AIs''', so that they can always be analysed, by anyone, at any time.

This follows the same spirit as WikiDeal's [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Internal-AI|AI transparency rule]]: what the AI says and how it is used remains open and auditable.


== The retrieval service: pearls and trends ==
On top of this conserved corpus, a '''retrieval service''' ("repêchage") is envisaged, with two outputs:

* '''The pearls''' 🦪: what was missed. Good proposals that were '''wrongly judged by the AI''' and deserve a second look. Human review fishes them back out of the corpus, so that a valuable idea is never lost just because an AI misjudged it.
* '''The trends''' 📊: the percentages of subjects that are heavily treated, and similar statistics. They show what the community asks about most, and can inform priorities.

This is what would be used and analysed over time; the exact mechanisms are still to be defined.

New page

{{KidsIntro|WikiDeal needs a computer program so that people can give money to the project and see their account on a dashboard. This call looks for software developers who can build it from the model already drawn (the mockup), get a small payment now, and a much bigger one later if the project works.}}
{{ExpertIntro|This early bird open call (wave 1) invites offers from independent software developers to build and maintain the WikiDeal funding ecosystem: a dashboard and management tools with SSO connected to the wikideal.net MediaWiki, outside the MediaWiki instance, with Stripe and PayPal for payments, on the basis of the published mockup. The process differs from the other calls: developers first post their questions on the mockup and their offer (references, sums requested in cash and in Rewards); the steering committee then contacts and mandates a provider to develop, submit to test, adapt, then maintain the service for 12 months after delivery, each improvement being paid by the hour. Indicative target: US$ 1,000 in cash plus 30,000 in Rewards (no guarantee*) for about 100 hours. A provider who delivers to satisfaction gets priority on new mandates.}}

== What this call is about ==
This is what we need to develop: the '''WikiDeal funding ecosystem''', shown in this mockup:

'''https://aidev.wikideal.net/mockups/funding/'''

using '''Stripe''' and '''PayPal''' for payment.

We have a dedicated dev server running www.wikideal.net on MediaWiki. But for funding, we need a '''dashboard and other management tools with SSO''' (connected to our MediaWiki from wikideal.net) '''outside the MediaWiki instance'''.


== How this call works ==
This call works differently from the other open calls:

# '''Developers post their questions and their offer.''' On [[Market:Answer to Open Call/Funding-Ecosystem-Development|the answer page of this call]], developers ask their questions on the mockup (how it works, the database, the SSO...) and propose their service, with links to their previous results and the sums requested in cash and in Rewards.
# '''The steering committee contacts and mandates.''' The committee contacts candidates and mandates a provider to develop on the basis of the mockup, submit to test, adapt, then '''maintain the service without improvement during 1 year''' after delivery. Each improvement is paid by the hour.
# '''Priority on new mandates.''' If the person has delivered the service to satisfaction, they get priority on new mandates.


== What your offer must contain ==
We wish to get offers from software developers, with:

# '''What needs to be clarified''' before starting to develop this "funding" ecosystem, and how you would see such a development (questions and answers, such as: which database, which SSO...). After we have provided answers that are accepted by potential software development service providers, we wish to receive answers to the following questions:
# '''How much time''', estimated, to develop and maintain this "WikiDeal funding" service during 12 months after delivering?
# '''How much money would you accept to get in Rewards''' (not guaranteed, but ×10 compared to normal payment: for instance, instead of US$ 25/hour, it would be US$ 250/hour)?
# '''How much money do you request in cash''' (amount paid 20% before starting, 50% at delivery, 30% later)?


== The deal we hope for ==
Ideally, for us, we would hope to have a deal such as:
* '''US$ 10/hour in cash''', and
* '''US$ 300/hour in Rewards'''.

Total for 100 hours of work: '''US$ 1,000 paid cash in 3 parts + 30,000 Rewards''' if the project works.

For an explanation about Rewards, see [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]] and the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:FAQ|Open Call FAQ]].


== Good to know ==
* We give preference to persons '''expert in MediaWiki''', since the /funding mockup is one of the rare developments needed outside MediaWiki.
* The payer is the '''Ynternet.org Foundation''', the Swiss non-profit foundation carrying the WikiDeal project at this stage (see the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:FAQ|Open Call FAQ]]).
* We give preference to persons able to charge '''at least 50% of their usual hourly rate in Rewards'''.
* We only give a mandate to an '''independent worker with an invoice''', not to employees.
* We can provide all necessary '''guarantees of payment''' for the cash-paid part.
* See also our [[Policies/en/Universal-Code-of-Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]], adapted from Wikimedia.

Every offer must include a full '''AI transparency disclosure''': state which AI tools, if any, were used to prepare the offer, and how. The general rules of the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] apply, in particular the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main#rules-of-the-game|rules of the game]].
