Apps
"In times of aggressive corporatization, increasing enclosure of communication spaces, and blanket surveillance, emancipatory communication practices appear to be particularly well suited to offer concrete alternatives to activists and citizens alike" – Stefania Milan
The base install of the system just contains an email server and Mutt client, but not much else. In addition from within the Administrator control panel under Add/remove apps the following are installable. This list only applies on the home server version, with the mesh network version having a different and smaller set of apps.
CryptPad
Collaborate on editing documents, presentations and source code, or vote on things. All with a good level of security.
DLNA
Enables you to use the system as a music server which any DLNA compatible devices can connect to within your home network.
Dokuwiki
A databaseless wiki system.
Emacs
If you use the Mutt client to read your email then this will set it up to use emacs for composing new mail.
Etherpad
Collaborate on creating documents in real time. Maybe you're planning a holiday with other family members or creating documentation for a Free Software project along with other volunteers. Etherpad is hard to beat for simplicity and speed. Only users of the system will be able to access it.
Friendica
Federated social network system.
Ghost
Modern looking blogging system.
GNU Social
Federated social network. You can "remote follow" other users within the GNU Social federation.

Databaseless blogging system. Quite simple and with a markdown-like format.
