## What it is
An open-source community platform built by One Army to help global communities connect, collaborate, and share knowledge around social and environmental projects. It provides modules for courses (Academy), Q&A, member maps, research documentation, and a library of resources, currently powering communities like Precious Plastic and Project Kamp.

## Use cases
- build a community platform for an environmental project
- host a Q&A and knowledge-sharing site for a global community
- create a member map to connect people locally
- document research and experiments for open-source hardware projects
- launch a self-hosted alternative to social media for a cause-driven community
- share courses and tutorials with a community of practice

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made, open-source platform to unite a community around a shared mission
- you want built-in modules for courses, Q&A, maps, research, and libraries
- you value open-source, self-hostable software with an active development community
- your project aligns with social or environmental impact goals

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight forum or simple blog rather than a full community suite
- you require deep customization beyond the existing module structure
- you need enterprise-grade scalability or SLA-backed support
- you want a platform with a large plugin marketplace or extensive third-party integrations
