Node types

Nodes are hubs for different types of knowledge and content. They're also collaborative, users can contribute to different nodes in various ways: eg. by tagging content, curating a knowledge node or adding a plant grow guide. Node settings can also allow for content to be automatically added or require approval.

Every node has a type, and these are grouped into five kinds: People & organisations, Creative, Places, Work and Knowledge. Users can collaborate to curate knowledge nodes, all other node types can have multiple admins.
