1 Formal communities
2 What is a community?
Once you have found others with similar interests - or perhaps you are part of a research groups or a course/class - you may want to have a more formal community setting. This is where Developing t2t's powerful community building features can be used.
* Communities are created for you. If you have an idea for a new community then do get in touch with Alistair.
* You can keep all community activity private to the community or you can use the 'make public' option to disseminate work to the wider public.
* Each community produces granular RSS feeds, so it is easy to follow community developments
* Each community has its own URL and profile
* Each community comes with a file repository and blog
Once a community has been formed, those who join the community can contribute to the collective blog and file repository. This is an excellent way to share ideas and to collaborate together.
Technically, a community has all the same properties and abilities as a user. That means it's got a weblog, profile, resources and a file repository. The difference is that anyone who's a member of a community can upload content to those spaces.
