Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/Glossary: Difference between revisions

{{ExpertIntro|This glossary sets the definitive, official terminology of the WikiDeal model, to be used exclusively in all documents, contracts and communications; superseded terms are listed and marked as deprecated. It covers the funding vocabulary (Support, Gift, Reward, Karma tokens, WIL, cash-out, bonding curve, Need-Driven Funding, Priority 1/Priority 2), governance and community concepts (Open Call, User Group, Ring of Trust, Living Lab, Subscription, Maturity Score), and WikiDeal's structural philosophy (deprivatisation, Exit to Community, co-opetition, immutable philosophies, Wikimedia-adapted portals and categories).}}

''For all terms related to money, donations, and rewards (such as Rewards, Karma Tokens, Donations, Subscriptions), please see the dedicated [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Funding-Glossary|Funding & Monetary Glossary]].''

: The convertible form of WikiDeal Rewards. Rewards may be converted to CHF when platform revenue allows, '''without guarantee'''. A possible annual percentage increase is under study (draft [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Annual Value Increase|Open Call]], not decided). Held in personal account (Priority 2). Tax applies at cash-out. Previously called "Cash Rewards" or "Cash Reward", those terms are deprecated. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards →]]

: By sharing unused resources and/or contributing as a volunteer, you can earn Karma tokens, usable within your Rings of Trust to get access to services and goods such as housing, transportation or food. A barter-style unit for otherwise unused resources in the functional economy, creating a citizen participation with an exchange network (initial hypothesis; not a currency in the legal sense). "Karma token" is a working name and may change; previously called "WIL token". Exchangeable for services and goods within [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]] (agreements between ≥2 User Groups). Not convertible to CHF directly. Value determined by the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Karma-Token-Market|Karma Token Market]] algorithm, supply and demand for real services. Usage coefficients range from 1 (restricted) to 10 (widely accepted). Previously called "Miles Credits" and "WikiDeal Miles", deprecated terms. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards →]]

: A combination of ''multiple marketplaces'' enabling a global experience: e.g., housing + activities + training. Programmes are the operational backbone of WikiDeal. Each programme has defined steps, validation criteria, and Rewards. WikiDeal has '''12 programmes'''. A single marketplace (babysitting, pet-sitting) is NOT a programme, it is a service used within one or more programmes. See [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Main|All 12 Programmes →]]

: WikiDeal's seasonal invitation for community proposals to improve or partially substitute elements of the current model. Evaluated on March 21, June 21, September 21, and December 21 each year. Prize pool: CHF 10,000 cash + 1,000,000 WikiDeal Rewards. Open Call allocation is adjusted based on each use case's Maturity Score. See also: Open Calls & Maturity.
