Market:Home: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:45, 25 June 2026

Welcome to the WikiDeal markets home page. Market pages are where WikiDeal develops its rules, contracts and frameworks for a fair, trustworthy and cooperative economy. A market is a specific economic area in which people and institutions make deals. Market pages help to coordinate the community’s efforts by grouping contributors around these markets, thus centralizing resources, recommendations and discussions for each market.

This home page is organized in six parts: Portals, Pilot use cases, Programs, Observatories, Rings of Trust and the Toolbox.

1. Portals

Portals are the generic categories that group related marketplaces together. There is no fixed number of portals: new ones are added as the community grows. A marketplace is one specific market (for example Babysitting or Taxi); a portal gathers several marketplaces of the same kind.

Other marketplaces currently mapped to a portal: Leisure, Separation (a one-shot service, part of the Life Transitions program), Target Audience. See the overview of all portals.

2. Pilot use cases

The pilot use cases are the marketplaces being studied first, the ones the community works on as priority prototypes:

Babysitting, pilot portal, intended to go live in 2026

3. Programs

A program is a combination of several marketplaces 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 that turns contracts into real-world journeys. They are organized into thematic categories (Technology, Market, Social, Artistic, Retail).

See the Programs home for the example programs (Volunteering, Real Estate, Eco-Village Transition, Education, Rings & Alliances, Recycling & Upcycling, Street Fundraising, Microcredit, Transport, Community Migrations, Life Transitions, and others as they emerge).

4. Observatories

Observatories are where WikiDeal watches and documents a field, rather than running deals in it. They belong to the Market space too. Examples being explored:

Competition & co-operation observatory
Planned obsolescence observatory
Free legal watch

Observatory pages are being structured; links will be added as the pages are created.

5. Rings of Trust

Rings of Trust are the circles of mutual trust within which users share Miles Credits, recommendations and guarantees. Marketplaces, programs and user groups can all operate inside one or more Rings of Trust.

6. Toolbox

The Toolbox holds the building blocks the community develops inside each market:

Use cases: scenarios in which a deal might need to be made
Clause bases (general): the general clause groups shared across contexts, using WikiDeal’s contract template language
Endorsed contract models (specific): models built on the clause bases, endorsed (legally validated) by lawyers for specific contexts
Legal references: relevant law, organized by country
Case law: legal precedents at all relevant levels
Compensation rules: compensatory measures (conditions, pricing scales, Miles Credits)
Reminders: automated message templates sent to the parties of a deal
Usage tips & tutorials: guides to help users do deals well

The endorsement chain: a base of general clauses → Legal Endorsement by lawyers → endorsed models for specific contexts.

Contribute

You are very welcome to start contributing: add material to a marketplace, draft a contract model, document an observatory, or join a user group focused on the markets, use cases and areas you care about.
