For organizations
Your members already have what each other need.
Universities, companies and associations hold thousands of relationships that go unused. WEFT lets a real need travel through the communities you convene to the few people who can answer it, and no further.
How it works
You convene the room. The request does the travelling.
People stay where they are. One request moves, to a bounded few, and each of them decides for themselves.

What you can do
Governance, in your hands.
Governance and management, which is a different thing from access to people.
- Establish Communities
- Create the rooms your institution actually has (a cohort, a department, a chapter), each with its own way in and its own administrator.
- Bring a roster
- Upload the list you already keep. WEFT stores a scrambled form of each address, never the address itself, and matches it when somebody joins.
- Share the work
- Give people the parts of running an organization they need, and take them back. Every grant and every removal is recorded.
- Prove your domain
- Publish a record in your DNS, or answer a message at an address on it. That is what lifts the limits a new organization starts with.
- Hand it on
- Nobody is stuck holding a community they no longer run. Responsibility can be offered, accepted and moved, with the other person's agreement.
What your members gain
The institution provides the room. Every benefit lands on the person.
Membership stops being a list and starts being a way to be helped, and to help, without giving anything up.
- Reached for the right reasons
- A member is asked only when a real request from their community fits what they chose to say about themselves, and never more often than they can carry.
- Their own Persona in each room
- A member appears in your community through a Persona they wrote for it. What they said elsewhere stays elsewhere.
- Nothing to maintain
- No profile to keep polished and no feed to read. Appearing in a community's member list is each member's own choice. A member hears from WEFT when someone needs them, and decides.
The line
What an administrator never sees
Not by policy. By how the database is built: these are not settings anyone can turn on.
What anybody asked for, or of whom. A request belongs to the person who made it, wherever they made it.
Private notes. They are encrypted on the member's own device and the server holds no key.
What a member has said about themselves anywhere else, or who they are connected to.
Any conversation. Not the messages, not who they were with, not that they happened.
Who answers and who does not. WEFT keeps no such record, about anybody, anywhere.
Getting set up
It starts from inside WEFT, with an ordinary account.
An organization is started by a person, and that person is its first administrator. Three steps, and the rooms are open.
Start the organization
From your account, start an organization and name it. It exists at once, with the limits a new organization begins with.
Prove your domain
Publish one record in your DNS, or read a code sent to an administrative mailbox on the domain. That lifts the limits.
Open the rooms
Establish the communities, bring a roster if you keep one, and share the work with the people who run them.
What this costs
Nothing. Organizations are not charged for management access, and an organization confers nothing on the people in it: no upgrade, no capability, no change to anybody's account. A person's plan is theirs and is bought by them alone, or not at all.
