Inspired by the co-production of knowledge across traditions, cultures, and the ethic of socio-ecological inclusion (as practised by communities like Karampuang in Indonesia and theorised as ''Wikinomics''), Civic Incentive is grounded in '''Communities of Practice''' in the sense described by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etienne_Wenger Etienne Wenger]. Almost all User Groups are Communities of Practice. There also exist informal Communities of Practice that are not yet constituted as User Groups but whose contributions are equally valued. | Inspired by the co-production of knowledge across traditions, cultures, and the ethic of socio-ecological inclusion (as practised by communities like Karampuang in Indonesia and theorised as ''Wikinomics''), Civic Incentive is grounded in '''Communities of Practice''' in the sense described by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etienne_Wenger Etienne Wenger].

The Civic Incentive is also the cooperative side of WikiDeal's governance model: in practice, a very small minority of users gets deeply involved, and receives light but real advantages in return. WikiDeal's governance is intended as a hybrid of three proven sources: the open, wiki-style rule-making of Wikipedia and the free software movement, the at-cost financial management and user ownership of cooperatives, and the Swiss practice of collegial executives at every level, elected by an assembly of delegates. The full model is described on the [[Gov/en/Portal:Institutions/Governance|Governance]] page. | |||
