💡 In simple words: Technology is the set of tools WikiDeal uses, like free software and open data, so everyone can share and build things together.

🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): We are heading towards a cooperative platform built entirely on digital commons. This hypothesis proposes a technology stack grounded in free/open-source software, open and structured data, wiki-based collaboration, and token-based value infrastructure, all governed by the users themselves.

This page is a working hypothesis, meant to evolve according to users' proposals.

This hub presents WikiDeal's technology choices and links together all technology-related articles. Every choice follows the same spirit: digital commons — free/open-source software, open data, and governance by the users.

Data & structured data

• Data governance — how WikiDeal handles and protects data.
• Structured data — making information machine-readable and reusable.
• Structured data (innovation) — the R&D approach to structured data.
• Wikidata analysis — leveraging Wikidata.
• Decentralized data and Blockchains — distributed and on-chain data.

Free & open-source software

• Libre licensing — why WikiDeal builds on free/open-source software and open licences.

Wiki & MediaWiki

• Wikimedia marker — using the wiki/MediaWiki ecosystem.
• Wikipedia governance — lessons from Wikipedia's governance model.
• Wikinomics — the collaborative-economy principles behind the platform.

Tokens & value infrastructure

• Subscription tokens — the investment/supporter tokens (obtained through investment or donation).
• Karma tokens — the reputation/contribution tokens.
• Bonding curve — the funding mechanism.
• Dual credits — the dual-credit system.

Collaborative & AI tools

• Collaborative contract editing — co-editing legal documents.
• Participative agreement design — designing agreements together.
• AI-supported deployment and AI disclaimer — how AI is used, and its limits.

Living labs & observatory

• Living labs — real-world experimentation.
• Observatory — monitoring and research.

Mobile & apps (in development)

A WikiDeal smartphone application is planned, building on the MediaWiki backend. (Page to be created — this section is a placeholder for upcoming mobile/app documentation.)
