Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups: Difference between revisions

WikiDeal's roadmap includes User Groups for: babysitting (global launch, multiple regional groups); private tutoring (language-based and subject-based groups); pet care (sitting, walking, veterinary facilitation); bicycle and tool lending cooperatives; local food markets and community-supported agriculture; freelance creative services; and language learning exchanges. Each of these domains has an established informal economy that is (illustrative example) either unplatformed (and therefore lacks trust Infrastructure) or over-platformed (and therefore paying excessive Commissions to extractive intermediaries).

Autonomous user communities as the core of a marketplace relate to research on communities of practice, online community design, commons governance, and long tail economics. These works inform the User Groups hypothesis.
