WikiDeal scales horizontally through '''User Groups'''. A User Group runs a specific '''portal''' (for example, babysitting in Geneva, or web design globally) and writes the contracts governing its members. A service is something offered ''within'' a portal — the portal is the unit a User Group is built around, not an isolated service.
 
== Purpose ==


= Launch a User Group =
Every User Group has a clear '''purpose'''. The most common one is to '''develop a dedicated smart app''' for the group's portal. The User Group expresses its needs; the [https://www.ynternet.org Ynternet.org] Foundation builds the complete smart app for them during the early '''use-case''' phase. If the Foundation judges the project worthwhile, it develops the app, provides resources, and helps bring in lawyers who '''endorse''' the relevant contracts.


WikiDeal scales horizontally through '''User Groups'''. A User Group manages a specific marketplace portal (for example, babysitting in Geneva, or web design globally) and writes the contracts governing its members. Here is how to launch your own portal.
In short:
* The User Group '''edits the wiki''' (its portal, contracts, use cases).
* The Ynternet.org Foundation '''realises the smart app''' (with its prototype) when it includes the use case, and makes resources available — especially lawyers who endorse and recognise the contracts.


== Steps ==
== Steps ==


# '''Choose your domain.''' Identify the specific service your group will provide. It should be clear, legally definable, and have existing market demand.
# '''Identify yourself.''' Members must be logged in and identified. A User Group is built on people who take responsibility, not anonymous accounts.
# '''Define your region and language.''' Decide whether your group operates globally (digital services) or locally (physical services), and which language will govern the contracts: local (city or region), national (country), or global (language-based).
# '''Choose your portal.''' Define the portal your group will run (a service category, a region, a language community). It should be clear and legally definable.
# '''Recruit founding members.''' WikiDeal requires a minimum of '''3 founding members''' (at least one acting as coordinator) to establish a new User Group and prevent abandoned portals.
# '''Define your region and language.''' Decide whether your group operates globally (digital) or locally (physical), and which language governs the contracts: local, national, or language-based.
# '''Draft base contracts.''' Work with WikiDeal's legal contributors to draft the specific base contract for your profession, setting the minimum standards and compensatory measures.
# '''Recruit founding members.''' WikiDeal requires a minimum of '''3 founding members''' (at least one coordinator) to establish a new User Group and prevent abandoned portals.
# '''Foundation review.''' The Ynternet.org Foundation reviews the proposal to ensure it complies with the AGPL v3 licensing, non-extractive principles, and local labor laws. Review takes 2–4 weeks.
# '''State your purpose and needs.''' Describe what your group wants to achieve — typically the smart app and contracts you need. This is what the Foundation reviews to decide whether to develop for you.
# '''Launch your portal.''' Once approved, your User Group gets its dedicated marketplace portal, autonomous treasury tracking, and voting rights in the global WikiDeal governance.
# '''Board of Audit review.''' When a User Group is created, the '''Board of Audit''' reviews it — for alignment with WikiDeal's principles (AGPL v3 licensing, non-extractive model, applicable laws). The review is meant to stay '''flexible and fluid''', not a fixed waiting period.
# '''Launch your portal.''' Once endorsed, your User Group gets its dedicated portal, autonomous treasury tracking, and voting rights in WikiDeal governance — and, where the use case is taken up, its smart app.
