{{KidsIntro|A program is a big project that puts several WikiDeal markets together, like housing plus activities plus learning, so people can do many things in one place.}}

Welcome to the WikiDeal programs home page. A '''program''' is a combination of '''several marketplaces''' brought together into one coherent, global experience (for example housing + activities + training). A single marketplace, such as babysitting, is not itself a program; it is a service used '''within''' one or more programs.

Programs are the operational backbone of WikiDeal: they turn contracts and use cases into real-world journeys by orchestrating several markets into a coherent path. There is no fixed number of programs; new ones are added as the community proposes them. Programs are grouped into thematic categories (Technology, Market, Social, Artistic, Retail).

This page is the counterpart of the [[Market:Home|Markets home]]: Markets describe the individual marketplaces and portals, Programs describe how several markets combine.

__TOC__

== Example programs ==

The following are example programs being explored. They are illustrative, not a closed list.

=== Social ===

* '''Volunteering Program''': contribution through time and skills, open to all, from basic tasks (babysitting, cleaning, cooking) to high-value contributions (strategic advice, working groups, facilitation). Formation by doing. Includes the Shared Resources stimulation mechanism. Participants earn Miles Credits.
* '''Eco-Village Transition Program''': transition to cooperative living in eco-villages. Combines housing contracts, volunteering agreements, freelance service provision and project incubation. Multi-marketplace by nature.
* '''Education Program''': learn a skill and earn Credits at the same time, with competence credits validated through practice and usable in Rings of Trust. Combines a tutoring marketplace, a certification process and peer-review validation.

=== Market ===

* '''Real Estate Program''': valorisation of empty properties through Senior/Junior incubator teams, with 8 competence modules (photography, pricing, furnishing, guest management, contracts, legal, community governance, reporting). Could create local WikiDeal real estate agencies.
* '''Street Fundraising Program''': flexible street dialogue for NGOs and associations, with 3 contracts (association to user group, association to dialoguer, donation), revenue spreading, Boost mechanism and bidirectional evaluation.
* '''Microcredit Program''': transparent microcredit circles and mutual aid networks (tontines), with auditable contracts and a proper arbitration framework. Combines a loan marketplace, savings circles and peer-guarantee systems.
* '''Transport Program''': migration of transport cooperatives to WikiDeal infrastructure, including ridesharing and vehicle sharing (not traditional taxi dispatch). Members keep their brand; WikiDeal would provide the back-office contracts.

=== Technology ===

* '''Rings & Alliances Program''': user groups forming alliances and Rings of Trust, with contracts for shared Miles Credits usage rights and interoperability agreements (usage coefficients 1 to 10). Encourages cooperation over forking.
* '''Community Migrations Program''': support for migrating entire communities and their existing agreements onto WikiDeal infrastructure.

=== Retail ===

* '''Recycling & Upcycling Program''': social entrepreneurship through recycling, carpentry-recycling, electronics refurbishment and textile upcycling. Artisan workshops and maker spaces.

== Programs and the rest of the Markets space ==

Programs sit alongside the other parts of the [[Market:Home|Markets home]]:

* '''Portals''' group the individual marketplaces.
* '''Programs''' (this page) combine several marketplaces into a journey.
* '''Observatories''' watch and document a field (for example planned obsolescence, competition, free legal watch).
* '''Rings of Trust''' are the circles of mutual trust in which Credits and guarantees are shared.
* '''Toolbox''' holds the clause bases, endorsed contract models, legal references and compensation rules.
