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). | 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.
