=== Why this call ===
Every visitor to WikiDeal experiences the architecture before anything else: the menus they click, the URLs they bookmark, the way a contract page relates to its amendments. Getting this right early saves years of confusion later. Rather than deciding behind closed doors, WikiDeal opens the question to everyone, in the spirit of citizen participation: the people who will use the structure are invited to shape it.


WikiDeal currently has a working '''URL architecture''' and a working '''content architecture''' — '''but they are temporary'''. They were put in place to migrate content and get the wiki running; they are '''not''' the final design. This call invites '''new proposals''' for the fundamental architecture, '''based on the existing one'''.

💡 In simple words: WikiDeal is like a giant library, and the way it is arranged today is only temporary. This is an invitation to help design how everything is organised: the menus, the web addresses, how markets and contracts are laid out, and how it should look and feel to use. This is the one call you can take part in right now: just log in and post your ideas in the Discussion tab of this page.

🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): The only Open Call active right now: propose the durable content architecture of WikiDeal (URL structure, article templates, Markets taxonomy, Gov structure, ergonomics), building on the existing temporary one. Submit via the Discussion tab; modest mixed cash and Karma-token rewards, decided by Ynternet.org Foundation delegates.

Every visitor to WikiDeal experiences the architecture before anything else: the menus they click, the URLs they bookmark, the way a contract page relates to its amendments. Getting this right early saves years of confusion later. Rather than deciding behind closed doors, WikiDeal opens the question to everyone, in the spirit of citizen participation: the people who will use the structure are invited to shape it.

Why this call

WikiDeal currently has a working URL architecture and a working content architecture, but they are temporary. They were put in place to migrate content and get the wiki running; they are not the final design. This call invites new proposals for the fundamental architecture, based on the existing one.

Because these foundations affect everything else, this should be refined first. It is therefore the only Open Call that is possible right now, and the only one currently active.

What this call covers

This is Content Architecture in the broad sense, plus ergonomics:

1. URL structure

Namespaces (Gov, Markets, Meta…), language segments (e.g. /en/), portal and sub-page patterns, contract URLs. Existing working bases to build on:

2. Article (content) structure

What should appear inside the articles, consistently: the statistical / data elements that must appear; standard templates and layout per content type; and, for each contract, everything around it: amendments, addenda (avenants), the contract URLs, the reference rules (legal references), validation status, and how these relate.

3. Markets structure (especially valued)

How market segments and their portals are organised, and the standard content types per market. Proposals that pertinently lay out all sub-markets and all market categories, with a medium- and long-term vision that can last, are especially valued.

4. Gov structure & meta

How the Gov namespace, Meta, menus and navigation tie everything together.

5. Global architecture questions

  • Is there one WikiDeal instance, or several?
  • One instance per language, or a single multilingual instance?
  • How are User Groups managed within the chosen architecture?

How to submit

To take part, log in and post your ideas and links in the Discussion tab of this page. Rewards are attributed on the basis of the submitted proposals, reviewed by delegates of the Ynternet.org Foundation committee.

A good way to contribute: post a link to an architecture proposal copied in HTML (a snapshot of the content at a given moment; the content does not need to be final), showing the architecture: the menus, the URLs, the Markets part, the Gov part, Meta, etc., i.e. a revised structure of the whole.

Who does what

  • Contributors (anyone, including enlightened amateurs) post proposals in the Discussion tab.
  • Delegates of the Ynternet.org Foundation committee review proposals and attribute rewards.
  • The community inherits and maintains the resulting architecture; this openness keeps the process transparent from proposal to decision.

Rewards (pre-launch, modest, no significant promise)

We are in a pre-launch phase, so no significant reward is promised: this is genuinely to help. We cannot guarantee much, but there is a commitment of principle to provide rewards in a mix of cash and Karma tokens.

Because this work has high added value yet is fairly accessible to enlightened amateurs, and because it can be updated over time with experience, the funding is deliberately modest. Indicatively, over the whole call:

  • 5,000 – 20,000 Rewards (convertible to CHF) distributed in total;
  • possibly 1,000 – 2,000 CHF in direct cash, only for genuinely high-added-value proposals, especially on the Markets part (all sub-markets, all categories) with a lasting medium/long-term vision;
  • plus Karma tokens.

Important distinction:

  • The CHF amounts are guaranteed in advance (committed), but low.
  • The Rewards and Karma tokens are usable only if the project succeeds (like all WikiDeal Rewards, no guarantee).

The CHF cash is given by delegates of the Ynternet.org Foundation committee, for proposals with high added value relative to the current architecture.

What matters most: principle, quality & success criteria

  • Principle: a single, coherent, durable architecture, based on the existing one, that serves users and contributors and scales as markets and User Groups grow.
  • Quality criteria: consistency across URLs / articles / markets / contracts; clarity and predictability of naming; navigation and ergonomics; maintainability; compatibility with MediaWiki and decentralized data; clean multilingual handling.
  • Success criteria: replaces the temporary structure without content loss; reusable as markets and User Groups multiply; understandable and maintainable by the community; a Markets taxonomy that holds up over the medium and long term.
