{{KidsIntro|WikiDeal helps people share and build contracts together, like Wikipedia does with information. You pick the pieces you need, fill in your details, and get a custom contract ready to use.}} | |||
{{ExpertIntro|We are heading towards a hybrid architecture where MediaWiki serves as a decentralized repository for contract clauses and models while external instance applications handle personalized data, signing workflows, and federated storage. This emerging trend suggests that open-source contract governance benefits from separating community-curated legal templates from secure, user-controlled document management infrastructures.}} | |||

WikiDeal is a collaborative platform, much like Wikipedia, aiming to revolutionize contract management. Users can access, modify, and personalize contract models and clauses for a variety of agreements. The platform emphasizes decentralized ownership, allowing users to collectively govern and contribute to its evolution. | WikiDeal is a collaborative platform, much like Wikipedia, aiming to revolutionize contract management.

WikiDeal caters to two primary user groups: those involved in creation (contract and clause models) and those utilizing the platform for building actual contracts. Exactly like on Wikipedia (editors vs readers). It remains open since anyone can become an editor. Established workflows for content discussion, consensus achievements, legal verification, and approval will probably allow us to keep the wiki open for anonymous editing, with the appropriate spam-combatting workflow. | WikiDeal caters to two primary user groups: those involved in creation (contract and clause models) and those utilizing the platform for building actual contracts.

Due to MediaWiki software specifics, the data not to be shared, such as personalized variables, adapted drafts, actual contracts, etc., shall be stored on the external instance application side. | |||
So, the whole project can consist of two main parts: | So, the whole project can consist of two main parts: | ||

Additional features in the pipeline include personalized contract styling, external contract creation tools, and true peer-to-peer contract creation, aiming for a transformative impact on how contracts are created, managed, and executed. | Additional features in the pipeline include personalized contract styling, external contract creation tools, and true peer-to-peer contract creation, aiming for a transformative impact on how contracts are created, managed, and executed. | ||
