💡 In simple words: Many people and communities helped WikiDeal exist. This page says where the ideas come from and who deserves a thank-you. It also explains that WikiDeal is an independent project, not part of Wikipedia.

🎯 In 20 seconds (expert summary): The WikiDeal concept, understood as the recipe of the innovations (the sources of innovation and their combination into founding principles), was contributed by Théo Bondolfi for the Ynternet.org Foundation. By convention, this page is the only place on the wiki where the founder is named. The credits also go to the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedians for the policies and the participatory governance culture, the Free Software Foundation for the free-software philosophy, and the developers of MediaWiki, Codeberg and the other free tools WikiDeal relies on. WikiDeal is not affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation. The licenses are on the separate Licensing page.

The concept

The WikiDeal concept was imagined by Théo Bondolfi for the Ynternet.org Foundation. His contribution is the recipe of the innovations: identifying the sources of innovation and combining them into the founding principles of WikiDeal.

By convention, this page is the only place on the wiki where the founder is named. Everywhere else, the attribution reads Concept and links back to this page.

During the startup phase, the roles played in the deployment of the project are described on the AI Supported Deployment page.

Credits to the sources

The credits also go to the real sources of WikiDeal, listed in detail on the Licensing page: the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedians for the policies and the participatory governance culture, the Free Software Foundation for the free-software philosophy, and the developers of MediaWiki, of Codeberg and of the other free tools WikiDeal relies on.

Non-affiliation with the Wikimedia Foundation
