WikiDeal is a community providing [[:Category:Contract Models|models of contracts]] and a marketplace to make deals using these contracts.


Like on Wikipedia, you can freely access, edit and adapt these contracts, for any context and needs. Each contract model will be connected to a community of users dedicated to improving the contract model, and the marketplace associated with it.

'''📢 A new step begins — Pre-launch publication phase'''
 
WikiDeal is entering a new phase. The project stays exactly the same in its mission; what changes is that we are now '''publishing''' the governance, economy and research work that has been developed — so it can be read, discussed and improved.
 
This is a '''pre-community-opening publication''': the content below is shared ahead of the community opening. It is '''not yet open for participation''' — soon there will be news with concrete opportunities to take part. Everything published in this phase is documented openly and marked as ''not yet approved'' while it is under review.

== Our founding question ==
You can contribute to the incubation of our different [[Market:Home|markets]] by creating an account on this wiki and editing the relevant pages.
WikiDeal is, at its core, a research and development project that explores one question:


You can join an existing [[User group:Home|user group]] or start your own to coordinate efforts contributing to specific parts of the WikiDeal ecosystem.
<blockquote style="font-size:1.15rem; font-style:italic; border-left:3px solid #4a90d9; padding-left:14px; color:#243b53;">
Can we create an e-commerce platform that is simultaneously ethical, participative, low-cost, and economically self-sustaining — without relying on advertising, speculation, or shareholder profit?
</blockquote>


You can also send us examples of contracts you have used in the past through our [https://app.wikideal.net/uploader contract uploader], so that the community can use them as a source of inspiration for designing new contract models.
Our answer is: '''yes — but only if the governance model is radically different.''' This means combining the principles of digital commons (like Wikipedia), a cooperative commission model, and community-driven value distribution. The pages below document how we propose to make that work.
