Settings

Gancio is a project designed to be adopted by different communities with specific use cases, which is why we tend to make features optional when we develop them.

If you are searching for initial configuration (database settings, base url, http proxy, etc) take a look at Configuration.

Title

It is the name of the project/community.
In existing nodes, it is usually linked to a word used locally or in slang relating to the action of meeting up or doing something together.

This word will appear in a few places:

in the header of the home page
in the title of the RSS and ICS feeds
in emails sent to administrators and those who are about to register
it is the default name of the federated actor

Description

A brief description that identifies your node, perhaps geographically or thematically?
It will become the subtitle on the homepage and is also used in a few other places.

Time zone

By choice, there is only one time zone per instance. You do not need to specify it for each event you enter.

Default language

The language in which the interface is displayed is the one chosen by the visitor (the default language set in the browser), but there are some messages that we send globally (e-mails, interactions with the federation) that require a default language.

First day of calendar week

Your node may or may not have open registration, meaning that any visitor can request a password-protected account with which they can enter events without going through a confirmation process. (default: true)
