💡 In simple words: A program is a set of deals you can pick and adapt from different WikiDeal markets, like a place to sleep, fun activities and things to learn, so you can build your own adventure.
Welcome to the WikiDeal programs home page. A program is a set of customizable deals from various marketplaces (for example housing deals plus activity deals plus training deals). A program is not itself a marketplace, and a single marketplace, such as babysitting, is not itself a program: a marketplace offers deals, while a program gathers customizable deals from several marketplaces.
A simple illustrative example (not an existing program) would be a tourist program: a self-organized, customizable tourist tour combining deals for transport (alternative transport within the WikiDeal network), accommodation, tourist visits, restaurants, cultural activities and social encounters, for an immersion in the local culture and local discoveries. Together, these deals would form a WikiDeal tourist experience, which could be arranged alone or as a team, and which could be developed in cooperation with regional tourism promotion services.
Programs are intended to be the operational backbone of WikiDeal: they would turn contracts and use cases into real-world journeys by assembling customizable deals from several marketplaces into a coherent path. There is no fixed number of programs; new ones are added as the community proposes them. Programs are grouped into thematic categories (Technology, Market, Social, Artistic, Retail).
This page is the counterpart of the Markets home: Markets describe the individual marketplaces and portals, Programs describe how customizable deals from several marketplaces come together.
Example programs
The following are example programs being explored. They are illustrative, not a closed list.
Social
- Volunteering Program: contribution through time and skills, open to all, from basic tasks (babysitting, cleaning, cooking) to high-value contributions (strategic advice, working groups, facilitation). Formation by doing. Includes the Shared Resources stimulation mechanism. Participants earn Karma tokens.
- Eco-Village Transition Program: transition to cooperative living in eco-villages. Combines housing contracts, volunteering agreements, freelance service provision and project incubation. Multi-marketplace by nature.
- Education Program: learn a skill and earn Credits at the same time, with competence credits validated through practice and usable in Rings of Trust. Combines a tutoring marketplace, a certification process and peer-review validation.
Market
- Real Estate Program: valorisation of empty properties through Senior/Junior incubator teams, with 8 competence modules (photography, pricing, furnishing, guest management, contracts, legal, community governance, reporting). Could create local WikiDeal real estate agencies.
- Street Fundraising Program: flexible street dialogue for NGOs and associations, with 3 contracts (association to user group, association to dialoguer, donation), revenue spreading, the Funding Stabilizer and bidirectional evaluation.
- Microcredit Program: transparent microcredit circles and mutual aid networks (tontines), with auditable contracts and a proper arbitration framework. Combines a loan marketplace, savings circles and peer-guarantee systems.
- Transport Program: migration of transport cooperatives to WikiDeal infrastructure, including ridesharing and vehicle sharing (not traditional taxi dispatch). Members keep their brand; WikiDeal would provide the back-office contracts.
- Karma Token Market Program: algorithmic valuation of Karma tokens, based on a double indicator (value of the service or good, availability and frequency). The idea explored: fair exchange rates driven by supply and demand across the ecosystem, stimulating but not speculative, because everything is transparent. More details.
Technology
- Rings & Alliances Program: user groups forming alliances and Rings of Trust, with contracts for shared Karma tokens usage rights and interoperability agreements (usage coefficients 1 to 10). Encourages cooperation over forking.
- Community Migrations Program: support for migrating entire communities and their existing agreements onto WikiDeal infrastructure.
Retail
- Recycling & Upcycling Program: social entrepreneurship through recycling, carpentry-recycling, electronics refurbishment and textile upcycling. Artisan workshops and maker spaces.
How programs work
The working principle envisaged for programs, proposed as a base for discussion:
- Each program would have defined steps with guided tools (forms, checklists, photo evidence).
- Participants would earn Rewards (no guarantee: rewards depend on platform revenue availability, no financial return is guaranteed) or Karma tokens at each validated step.
- Quality would be followed through success indicators and quality criteria.
- Programs would be managed by user groups with elected delegates and operational bureaus.
- The WikiDeal platform provides the tools; the community provides the energy.
Self-financing
The direction explored: each program and user group could access the same funding methodology as WikiDeal Core, with its own bonding curve for early funders, Rewards (no guarantee) and Karma tokens for funders, the Funding Stabilizer adjusting the Cash/Karma-token ratios based on real needs, and community pool allocation. This fractal model is part of what could make WikiDeal scalable: each user group works like a micro WikiDeal with the same transparent, at-cost, non-speculative economics.
Programs and the rest of the Markets space
Programs sit alongside the other parts of the Markets home:
- Portals group the individual marketplaces.
- Programs (this page) gather customizable deals from several marketplaces into a journey.
- Observatories watch and document a field (for example planned obsolescence, competition, free legal watch).
- Rings of Trust are the circles of mutual trust in which Credits and guarantees are shared.
- Toolbox holds the clause bases, endorsed contract models, legal references and compensation rules.
Contribute
You are very welcome to propose a new program, document an existing one, or join a user group working on the markets and programs you care about.
