Kune was a free/open source distributed social network focused on collaboration rather than just on communication.[2] That is, it focused on online real-time collaborative editing, decentralized social networking and web publishing, while focusing on workgroups rather than just on individuals.[3][4] It aimed to allow for the creation of online spaces for collaborative work where organizations and individuals can build projects online, coordinate common agendas, set up virtual meetings, publish on the web, and join organizations with similar interests. It had a special focus on Free Culture and social movements needs.[5][6] Kune was a project of the Comunes Collective. The project seems abandoned since 2017, with no new commits, blog entries or site activity.[7]
