💡 In simple words: WikiDeal has lots of clever, fair ideas built into it — about money, trust, sharing, and solving arguments. This page is the big list where you can find every one of them and read what each does.
⚠️ Not yet approved. This page describes a proposal that is still under community review. It is documented here so it can be discussed, improved and endorsed.
WikiDeal Socio-Economic Innovations
Innovations index — WikiDeal R&D
This page is the comparative hub for the socio-economic innovations embedded in the WikiDeal model. Each innovation has a named origin — a foundation, movement, or individual thinker — and combines existing traditions (Wikimedia governance, the cooperative movement, token economics, free software, the Semantic Web) in ways specific to WikiDeal. The list is open and unlimited: the count does not matter, only the innovations do.
