💡 In simple words: WikiDeal is a website where people work together to make decisions fairly. It helps groups share power and make choices as a team instead of just one person deciding everything.

🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): WikiDeal represents an emerging platform designed to facilitate participatory governance and cooperative decision-making structures. We are heading towards models where distributed stakeholder engagement replaces hierarchical authority, suggesting a shift in how communities coordinate resource allocation and collective action through digital infrastructure.

About: WikiDeal governance.

Here is a first content idea for this page. What WikiDeal is, its mission, and its model.

Reference language: English. Starter page, content to be expanded. A French synthesis will link here.

Beyond crowdfunding

What Wikipedia did for knowledge and W3C standards did for the web, WikiDeal aims to explore for agreements. Beyond crowdfunding: WikiDeal explores crowdsourcing and cooperative co-ownership of an ecosystem of agreements, under free licences, applicable to every domain, starting with niches and aiming at global reach.

As a basis for discussion, this approach remains entrepreneurial but promotes micro-entrepreneurship in a cooperative, public-interest and non-speculative context, on the short and the long term: a possible path of balance between speculative accumulation on one side and, on the other, models that constrain creativity and the recognition of merit through results. See a new form of co-opetition.
