  • Debates: allows participants to have debates. Debates can be time limited or not.

  • Elections: to have end-to-end auditable elections in a space. Uses the same external system as Votings space.

  • Meetings: gatherings in person or online through videoconferences platforms.

  • Page: static pages with multi-language support.
