Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main: Difference between revisions

{{ExpertIntro|Open calls are organised in waves. Wave 1 gathers three early bird calls (URL naming and general structure, graphic charter and trademark proposals, spectacular tutorial on small loans), announced and to be launched on 21 July 2026, each offering CHF 1,000 in direct cash and CHF 10,000 in Rewards (no guarantee*). The tutorial call is competitive, with a 21 December 2026 deadline; the two others stay open until a first simple version has been adopted. Wave 2 gathers draft calls that are still under discussion. Calls that concern a specific marketplace (and not the WikiDeal platform as a whole) are listed in a separate marketplace family: most of those calls are intended to be organised directly by User Groups. Evaluation combines a public vote with an expert panel; AI transparency disclosure is mandatory. The rules and procedures in brief are on this page; the detailed FAQ is on a dedicated page.}}

Open calls are organised in '''waves''', in two distinct families: the calls that concern '''WikiDeal as a global platform''' (structure, identity, management), and the calls that concern '''specific marketplaces'''. Each family has its own waves. For now, only the WikiDeal global family has waves 1 and 2; the marketplace family starts with a first wave that has no date yet. Wave 1 of the WikiDeal global family gathers the three '''early bird''' calls, the pilot experience calls, also called open calls '''for pioneers''': they are launched before the steering committee is formed, and they are especially open to Wiki experts (experts in Wiki design and use). Their informal launch is planned for '''21 July 2026''', the opening day of [https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2026:Wikimania Wikimania 2026] in Paris, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of Wikipedia. Wave 2 gathers draft calls that are still under discussion: they are listed below, and the list itself is intended to evolve. The marketplace-specific calls are listed in their own table further below.

=== WikiDeal global, wave 1: the pilot experience calls (early bird) ===

| [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Graphic-Charter|Graphic charter and trademark proposals]] || 1 || Announced, to be launched on 21 July 2026 || No deadline: open until a first simple version has been adopted || CHF 1,000 in direct cash + CHF 10,000 in [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]] (no guarantee*)

=== WikiDeal global, wave 2: still under discussion ===

Wave 2 is '''still under discussion'''. These calls are drafts under construction (nice to have, not yet launched); they are intended to be launched at a later stage, and the list itself is still being discussed.

=== Marketplace-specific calls: a family of their own ===

The calls below concern a '''specific marketplace''', not the WikiDeal platform as a whole. They form a separate family with its own waves: their first wave has no launch date yet. These calls are still ideas under construction.

This family is intended to grow far beyond this first list. Over time, there could be hundreds, even thousands of marketplace calls, and the majority are intended to be organised directly by [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]] themselves. Calls launched by User Groups would only go through a light validation, whose sole purpose is to display them in this list of calls: User Groups keep their independence to launch their own calls whenever they look for ideas and need contributions.
