Spaces
Public, private or hidden areas for a team, a project, a branch or a class, each with its own members, roles, stream and modules.
HumHub is an open-source platform for intranets and private communities. Its core gives you spaces, posts, profiles, permissions and a mobile app; modules add the rest: wiki, files, events, surveys, courses, maps, memberships, single sign-on. This page lists what exists, who publishes it, and which combinations fit common uses.
