HILDUS Foundation
Human Intellect Linking Digital User Societies
HILDUS is the foundation whose ideas shape software for intellectual communities — where the host owns the audience, the advertising and the profit.
Our Mission
HILDUS is a foundation that develops and distributes software for intellectual communities: the people who build an audience keep it, along with the content and the revenue it earns. The foundation itself sells nothing and hosts nothing.
What HILDUS Stands For
The name HILDUS is an acronym: Human Intellect Linking Digital User Societies. What each word means, and why the foundation chose it.
The Platform & Live Sites
How it fits together: the foundation sets the ideas, Shopnseo and Qwetru apply them to commerce and to writing, regional representatives sell access to the control panel, and partner studios install sites on the hosting the customer already has.
Get Involved
Four ways to take part in what the foundation builds: run your own page or site on a panel subscription, run the whole platform as an organisation, build client projects as a studio, or offer the platform as a hosting company.
How a Community Server Works
What putting the whole platform on a machine of your own actually means: the tier for organisations — what the host controls, how it is priced, and what the foundation does and does not do.
Start a Community
The honest version of the steps: choose what the place is about, find the first people, decide where it lives, write the rules, and only then think about money.
