Features of Duchess Community include:

  • Friend Connections
  • Rich Profiles
  • Activity Streams
  • Private Messaging
  • Groups
  • Forums
  • Blogging
  • Multilingual Enabled

Each Duchess Chapter is set up as a group, but topic-related groups can be created by any logged in user. Forums can be accessed through groups or through the forum directory.

We are launching with an international audience in mind by enabling the site to be multilingual. For the launch, the site is set up to be displayed in Dutch, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. We are currently working with volunteers to complete the translations and enable more languages. Let us know if you can help.

All users from our old site have been migrated to the new Duchess Community site. If you are already a member, please log in and update your profile. Feel free to browse around the site and let us know what you think via twitter or email: duchess(at)jduchess(dot)org. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
