{{KidsIntro|Before joining a game, you want to know the rules: who can play, who decides who wins, and how prizes are given. This page collects all those questions about WikiDeal open calls. Proposed answers are now published for each question; they are waiting for review and comments before becoming official.}}

{{ExpertIntro|This FAQ gathers the detailed rules and procedures of the WikiDeal open calls, as a complement to the summary published on the Open ~~Call~~ page. It follows the Open Call Model 1, intended for Prototype 1. The questions cover participation, submission, evaluation, decisions, payments, rights and licensing, and governance. Each question now has a proposed answer, written in careful language; the answers are pending review and comments and are not yet official.}}

''Status: '''proposed answers, pending review, not yet official.''' Every answer below is a proposal, written in careful language, and awaits validation by the project team. Nothing on this page creates any right, promise or guarantee.''

These questions and answers aim at being '''generic''': they would apply to open calls on any topic (see the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-~~Call~~:Main|list of open calls]]). They complement the summary published on the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-~~Call~~:Main|Open Call page]] and follow the Open Call Model 1, intended for Prototype 1.

'''Why can part of the sum be withheld for up to one year? What is the maturity criterion?'''

Proposed answer: the committee wants to distinguish a solid base from a flash in the pan. A contribution can deserve money directly, or partly: in that case a part is paid at attribution and the rest is kept by the committee and attributed according to how long the idea stays in use and remains useful over time. For example, half of a sum could be paid immediately and the other half one year later, if the idea has lasted, as an increase of the donation. The exact split would be stated at attribution.

For example, half of a sum could be paid immediately and the other half one year later, if the idea has lasted, as an increase of the donation. The exact split would be stated at attribution. To assess whether the idea has lasted, the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/User-Group-Maturity|Maturity Score of the concerned User Group]] can be used as an indicator: for example, whether real deployment has taken place one year later. The Maturity Score measures the health of User Groups and their marketplaces (not of the open calls themselves); its use here is limited to informing the release of a second tranche.

'''Do I need a bank account (IBAN)? What if I do not have one?'''

Line 140:

'''What are Karma tokens and how can I use them?'''

Proposed answer: Karma tokens are the internal ~~credits~~ of the WikiDeal ecosystem, usable for services within it. A contributor can choose to receive part or all of a reward in Karma tokens instead of cash. They are not money, they are not convertible on demand, and their scope of use would grow with the ecosystem itself.

Proposed answer: Karma tokens are the internal barter-style units of the WikiDeal ecosystem, usable for services within it. A contributor can choose to receive part or all of a reward in Karma tokens instead of cash. They are not money, they are not convertible on demand, and their scope of use would grow with the ecosystem itself.
