{{KidsIntro|You can start helping WikiDeal today: no permission is needed in the Markets, where people share ideas and contract models. To help with the rules pages, you first tell us who you are and ask for editing rights.}}

{{ExpertIntro|Practical entry point for new contributors, with role tiles (developer, lawyer, researcher, marketer, policy maker). Open participation is currently possible in the Markets space. Contributing to governance and policies requires administration rights, granted after identifying yourself via ~~info~~@wikideal.net. Webinars are planned. The whole setup is early stage, offered as a basis for discussion.}}

If none of these fits you, you are still welcome: the sections below explain how anyone can contribute.

== Concrete actions you can take ==

You don't need to be an expert. Here are concrete things anyone can do right now:

* '''You want to settle a dispute fairly?''' → Request an arbitration: [[Simplified Arbitration]].

* '''You want to repair a wrong concretely?''' → Propose compensatory measures (see an example in [[Markets/en/Portal:Babysitting/Compensatory-Measures|the Babysitting market]]).

* '''You want to suggest a change or a new idea?''' → Propose a change / launch an [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main|Open Call]].

* '''You spotted a problem or an abuse?''' → Report it or raise an alert: [[Gov/en/Portal:Justice/Whistleblower|Whistleblower]].

* '''You want to help shape the rules?''' → Request administrator rights: [[Gov/en/Portal:Institutions/Rights-Policies|Rights Policies]].

* '''You want to launch your own cooperative or market?''' → [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Create-User-Group|Create a user group]].

* '''You just want to give your opinion?''' → Comment on the talk page of any page — it is open to everyone (a pseudonym is allowed).

'''Feel free to share your opinion — [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main|propose changes]] or [[Gov/en/Portal:Institutions/Rights-Policies|request administrator rights]].'''

''This is an early-stage setup, offered as a working basis and meant to evolve with users' proposals.''

Governance pages, policies, institutions, and in general everything outside the Markets can currently be edited only by people holding administration rights.

If you would like to take part in that work, the first step proposed is to identify yourself and contact us at ~~info~~@wikideal.net. Administration rights can then be granted by an administrator, after analysis and case by case. Among the criteria envisaged: experience of contribution on a wiki; a track record of contribution to common-good projects and to publications under free licenses; and whether the person represents an organization that presents itself as a partner, such as associative federations, cooperatives and others. More broadly, the aim is to find the balance between encouraging each person and protecting the search for an initial consensus on the main tendencies. A framework is being created: at this stage the project tries to avoid editorial conflicts concentrating on fundamental aspects, on form or on power games. Rights that allow someone to accept content or evolutions of governance rules and policies are therefore proposed to people who have already shown a real capacity for consensus-seeking and participatory contribution. In the meantime, the Markets space is the natural base of contribution, since everything there is possible and much more participatory. Over time, the community will see to what extent conflicts over edits and social interactions appear, how serious they are, and how well they are managed. This arrangement reflects the current stage of the project and is intended to evolve as the community grows.

Welcome and integration webinars are planned to present the project, answer questions and check that newcomers are well prepared. A dedicated page describes how they are envisaged (general welcome webinar, specialized sessions, registration and reminders): [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Integration-Webinar|Integration Webinar]].
