MeetAgain — Documentation

MeetAgain is an open-source event management platform built with Symfony 8 / PHP 8.4. It is designed around a plugin system that lets communities tailor their space to their needs — book clubs, film nights, board game groups, karaoke nights — without bloating the base install.

This is the central documentation for everyone working with MeetAgain: self-hosters, plugin developers, and core contributors.

Plugins integrate through well-defined interfaces — filter hooks, navigation hooks, content hooks — without modifying core code. Core never depends on plugin code.
