This is an '''early bird''' open call, also called an open call '''for pioneers''': it is launched before the steering committee is formed, and it is especially open to Wiki experts (experts in Wiki design and use). Its informal launch is planned for '''21 July 2026''', the opening day of Wikimania 2026 in Paris, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of Wikipedia.

== Rewards ==

* '''CHF 10,000 in [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]]''' (no guarantee*): a conditional claim on future subscription revenue, convertible to CHF only when the platform generates sufficient revenue.

See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]] for how WikiDeal rewards are intended to work.

If you want to respond to this call, go to [[Market:Answer_to_Open_Call/URL-Structure#Discussion|the discussion page of this call]] and post your proposal there, including external links to documents hosted elsewhere if needed. You can also notify your participation by email to info@wikideal.net. Proposals are public: everyone can see what others have proposed. Rewards can be distributed across several contributors, based on an estimation of the impact and importance of each contribution. These calls are light and non administrative, in the spirit of micro calls for ideas: the rewards are intended to be distributed across several contributors who bring complementary ideas, comment on the proposals of others and help each other. The goal is several winners, not a cold competition with one winner and many losers.

Every proposal must include a full '''AI transparency disclosure''': state which AI tools, if any, were used to prepare the proposal, and how. The general rules of the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] apply, in particular the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main#rules-of-the-game|rules of the game]], which apply to all current open calls. Frequent questions are answered on the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:FAQ|Open Call FAQ]].

The call closes when a first simple version of the structure is adopted by the delegates of the Ynternet.org Foundation. For the moment, the steering committee is composed of the WikiDeal founder ([[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Credits|see credits]]) and other committee members. It has not met yet; it intends to meet once the first donations have been received.
