Interest Groups
Get involved! Organic Groups is another free Philosophy of Freedom community feature. You will be given a powerful web site with many features that will enable you to create and facilitate their own groups with our support. We can help you form a new group or we can provide a web site for your existing group. Each group has subscribers and maintains a group home page to facilitate the flow of communication. These groups will be linked to a group network of the whole community.
It only takes one person to start a group. Admin will help you with the design, set up, and promotion of your group web site to attract others to register. Contact [0] admin to start a group.
