	=== What is it? ===		<span id="what-is-it"></span>
	The Participatory Observatory is an internal monitoring function that tracks community migrations, risks of platform obsolescence, fundraising progress, and the competitive landscape. It produces reports that feed directly into [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Open Calls\|Open Calls]] and into governance decisions, helping the community see clearly and act early.		== What is it? ==

	=== ~~How it works~~ on ~~WikiDeal~~ ===		Participatory Observatories (or Citizen Observatories) are '''unlimited in number''': what counts is not a fixed count. They would be run by citizens and '''created by theme by user groups''': online community moderation, whistleblowing, obsolescence risks, fundraising awareness and competition, and many others to come. They are intended as '''the bases of decision making''' within WikiDeal.
	~~By gathering~~ and ~~publishing these signals~~, the ~~observatory turns scattered observations into shared~~, ~~actionable knowledge. Its findings help prioritize Open Calls~~ and ~~steer governance~~. The ~~exact indicators tracked~~ and ~~reporting cadence~~ are ~~documented progressively~~ as the ~~platform evolves~~.
			<span id="karma"></span>
			== The karma model and "karmic democracy" ==

			The observatories are founded on the model of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot Slashdot], a historic late-1990s site and an underestimated symbol of free culture, whose [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_(Slashdot) karma] moderation later inspired the reputation systems of many community sites, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News Hacker News], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_Overflow Stack Overflow] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit Reddit].

			Debates and comments earn karma points through honest positive and negative reader ratings. Contributors with the best karma obtain admin rights and choose which articles are submitted for publication, that is, control of the debate agenda: a mechanism the project initiator has nicknamed "'''karmic democracy'''".

			<span id="flow"></span>
			== From debate to adopted innovation ==

			The intended flow:

			# article proposals in the observatories;
			# acceptance by high-karma admins;
			# debates and comments (ratings feed karma);
			# [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main\|open calls]] issued from the findings;
			# deliverables, and possible complementary fundraising;
			# sometimes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method Condorcet votes] for the more complex decisions;
			# innovations adopted collectively.

			<span id="whistleblowing"></span>
			== Reliable information and whistleblowing ==

			The purpose is reliable information plus '''whistleblowing''': alerts against any mechanism aiming at re-privatizing the platform, reducing trust, or weakening the approach of a global marketplace owned, run and sustained by its users. The same logic then applies to market tools, arbitrations and other components: the observatories are intended as the home base of the whole open calls dimension.
