'''Darmstadt''' is a city in [[Hesse]] quite close to [[Frankfurt]].

==Hospitality Networks==

===Couchsurfing===

Darmstadt has very active [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=1691 CouchSurfing Group]. There a very often spontaneous meetings e.g. for picnic in the Herrngarten or for a drink at a cosy bar. For sure anyone is very welcome to join!

===BeWelcome===

Darmstadt's [http://www.bewelcome.org/groups/145 BeWelcome group] is currently quite rudimentary, but it is becoming more active. We might start cross posting CouchSurfing events.

==Sight Seeing==

==Do==

Darmstadt offers a variety of actives and interesting places. To get some ideas check [[100_things_to_do_in_Darmstadt|100 things to do in Darmstadt]]. If you want even more fun ask in the CouchSurfing or the BeWelcome group for others to join you!

==Getting there and around==

===By foot===
Often the easiest choice in Darmstadt, walking from one end of Darmstadt to the other can be achieved in one hour. Inner city distances are way shorter and seldom take longer then 15 minutes.

===By bicycle===
If the weather plays along, definitely the fastest and most convenient mode of transport in Darmstadt. As there are hardly any hills, low to average training will do. The only nuisance are sometimes interrupted cycle lanes.

If you are looking for a used bike, there are two mayor trading shops: "[http://www.fahrradverleih-darmstadt.de/gebrauch.html Fahrrad Verleih Darmstadt]" right next to the main station and "[http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Pankratiusstra%C3%9Fe+7,+Darmstadt,+Deutschland Auktion & Kauf]" in Pankratiusstraße 7. For bike repair there are plenty little shops [http://www.google.com/search?q=fahrrad+reparatur+darmstadt all over town].

===By train===
The major train company in Germany is "[http://www.bahn.com/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtml Deutsche Bahn]" servicing the main station.
The main station is located about 1 1/2 kilometers west of the city center. Bus- and tramlines to the "Luisenplatz" run every few minutes till after midnight.

There's also the "[http://www.odenwaldbahn.de/ Odenwaldbahn]", connecting Darmstadt to Frankfurt and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odenwald Odenwald].

===By car===
Due to the compact size of Darmstadt, you're usually quicker by foot, bicycle or public transport. Finding a free parking spot in the inner city is quite a gamble, but there are plenty, reasonably priced car parks.

There's also a range of local taxi/cab services, some of which allow pre-booking. Taxis/cabs are generally regulated and trustworthy in Germany.

===By airplaine===
There are two airports in the region:
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_Airport Frankfurt Airport] (FRA/EDDF) the busiest international airport in Germany, connected to almost any place in the world. The quickest way to get to Darmstadt from the airport is the "[http://www.heagmobibus.de/site/airliner.html Airliner]". For train connections check [http://www.bahn.com/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtml Deutsche Bahn]. Many local taxi/cab services provide airport flat rates around 35€ if booked in advance.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahn_Airport Frankfurt-Hahn Airport] (HHN/EDFH) is situated in a remote are nowhere near Frankfurt or Darmstadt, they try to make of for it cheap airfares, reasonably prices long-term parking and shuttle buses. There is no direct bus or train connection from Darmstadt to Frankfurt Hahn but you have to can there via Frankfurt.

==Getting around==

As Darmstadt is not too large most aims can be reached in an acceptable time by walking or by bike. Alternatively you can use the well developed public transport (check the website of the [http://www.rmv.de/ RMV] for time tables). Darmstadt is also very well connected to Frankfurt.

==Weather==

In summer Darmstadt is quite warm in the comparison to German average.

==[[Couchwiki:For_different_organizations| For different organisation]]==

[[Couchwiki:For_different_organizations| Here]] a page about using couchwiki for [[BeWelcome]], [[Hospitality Club]], BeLodged, Global Freeloaders, Servas etc...

==Interwiki links==
I'm trying to set up some interwiki links. But there always seems to be a caching issue. So far I've done [[:hitch:|hitch]], [[:trash:|trash]], [[:cs:|cs]] and [[:csgroup:7621|csgroup]], if you want any others, just let me know. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 15:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Sharewiki.org please [[User:Matrixpoint|Matrixpoint]] 05:43, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

BW groups please [[User:Midsch|Midsch]] 19:50, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

wikipedia (probably active by default) and wikitravel please --[[User:Metal.lunchbox|Metal.lunchbox]] 20:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikivoyage would be nice --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

would it be possible to make a page about interwiki in couchwiki (brief explanation and how to use it ?) [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 01:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

:Wikipedia has a [[wikipedia:InterWiki|nice article about interwiki]] :) Of course it could be useful to have [[project:interwiki|an article here as well]], feel free to start it, and note that this wiki is license compatible with Wikipedia, so you can copy parts from the Wikipedia article. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 10:42, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
:: [[project:interwiki| Job done !!!]] [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 03:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Guaka, Are you the only person able to make interwiki links ? If no, how can we do that ? [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 15:34, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

==Other languages==
There's also a version of [http://couchwiki.org/fr/ Couchwiki in French] now :) The links aren't working properly yet. I'll happily set up other languages if there's enough interest, (especially German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or Swedish). We just need some people (or even just one person) who is willing to take care of it enough, i.e. put up a front page and check for spam regularly, and ideally make sure there are new articles every week. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:27, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

==Feature request: Category sitemap in footer==
If we could find an extension to display a context-sensitive sitemap based on the categories of a page, wouldn't that be awesome? Maybe this could even be done with jquery, so the browser could cache the category information between requests, and it doesn't add up to page size.

(maybe "sitemap" is the wrong term here, because I only want to show related stuff)

I could work on that when I have time.

--[[User:Lemon-head|Lemon-head]] 19:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

:Hey. Sure, could be nice. :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

== Basic Organization of the wiki ==
Well there are a few pages and enough interest to start talking a little bit about how to organize the wiki. So far there seem to be 3 kinds of pages- location guide pages, pages about the wiki, and other pages. The later two will sort themselves out but the location guides follow an obvious logical hierarchy- World, region, country, (state,province), city, and extra pages attached to one of those levels like "Cycling in Germany" or "100 things to do in.." simple wiki links and templates could keep the pages organized according to the above logic and categories could help enforce it. does everyone pretty much agree on this?

I also want to say that generic categories like "Cities" or "country guides" are not useful and should be avoided. what do you guys think? --[[User:Metal.lunchbox|Metal.lunchbox]] 04:16, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

:Hey Lunchbox! I agree. Feel free to remove those generic categories. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 22:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
:: Actually I like a category like Hamburg, as it keeps all Hamburg related stuff together. But obviously it doesn't make sense if there is only one page for a city. BTW: Heavy usage of templates makes everything look the same and clean, but it stops people from editing as it looks complicate at first. [[User:Midsch|Midsch]] 19:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== Shared user accounts and shared images ==
Now you can use your login on the English couchwiki also for the other languages (so far French and Italian). And you can use images that have been uploaded here in other languages as well. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 22:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

== It's now possible to directly use images from [[commons:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]! ==
Just find the image you want to use and put it here, e.g. <nowiki>[[File:Bandeau_France.png|300px]]</nowiki> for [[File:Bandeau_France.png|300px]] from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bandeau_France.png [[User:Guaka|guaka]] Almost all images on Wikimedia Commons have been checked on copyrights, and it's highly encouraged to use them, and also to upload your own work there and then use it here. :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

== Main Page layout ==

The Main Page is getting messy and ugly : [[Mainpagelayoutbikepunk| here]] is a first draft/attempt to make it a bit better.
(I would like to know how to use the "class=" in mediawiki, I didn't find anything ''clear'' with google). What do you think about it ? [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 22:26, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:I just moved the new layout to the mainpage, it's much better than before, but off course needs more improvement. Hey, css-gurus! Your turn! And the structure/navigation is also looking for some more improvement! [[User:Midsch|Midsch]] 20:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== Added cheat sheet from wikipedia - compatible licence? ==

I've copied across the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Cheatsheet&action=edit Wikipedia cheat sheet] to [[Help:Editing]]

Also needs a bit of a cleanup as templates in wikipedia aren't always here. --[[Special:Contributions/118.208.108.138|118.208.108.138]] 10th to 20th December 2009 (UTC)

:It's totally fine to copy from Wikipedia, just add a template <nowiki>{{wikipedia}}</nowiki> to indicate that it's copied from Wikipedia. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 16:03, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== Copy across openid explanation from old plugin ==

@[[User:Guaka|guaka]]: The previous version of the plugin Couchwiki had a better and easier to understand explanation for why OpenID was good. Please recover that explanation and put it in the new plugin.

In a related note is it possible to assume credit for edits done before the plugin became available? --[[User:Daz|daz]] 19:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

:Sorry, not on the top of my priorities right now. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

== MediaWiki mobile plugin ==

Is there any interest in installing the mobile plugin that is being rapidly developed and used in WikiPedia? I want it but not sure if activity warrants it. On the otherhand this is a travel site so access to it in a mobile friendly format might actually increase activity. --[[User:Daz|daz]] 19:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

:Could be nice, link? I'd probably first wanna try it at Hitchwiki though. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
:: Not sure? You seem to be more in tune with the wiki community then me. [[User:Daz|Daz]] 15:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Data dumps ==

The availability of frequently updated [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#XML_dump XML dumps of the database] (content only, no user data) would increase the sustainability and reusability of couchwiki. This seems to be listed as todo at [[Couchwiki:Tech]]. Will this be done in the near future?--[[User:Konrad|Konrad]] 20:59, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

== Offline versions ==

In a discussion with [[User:TimUbaldo|Tim]] he mentioned the idea of an offline versions (e.g. in [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/EPUB epub format]) which might be handy for travelers. There is an [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/Extension:EPubExportexisting MediaWiki extension for epub export] but I have no experiences with it so far. --[[User:Konrad|Konrad]] 20:59, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

I used a web service like [http://www.web2fb2.net/ Web2FB] to convert wikitravel pages for my ebook reader. While this is an easy solution, it might put more load on the server than necessary. --[[User:TimUbaldo|Tim]] 21:12, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
