Editing Rural: administration

{{rural}}
This page is to provide an overview of Rural Couchsurfing.

== Groups ==

[http://www.couchsurfing.com/people/xnothingxheldxbackx Taylor] and [http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=1C55KUU Baptou] are the global coordinators. [http://www.couchsurfing.com/people/xnothingxheldxbackx Taylor] looks after the wiki and coordinates things around the world. [http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=1C55KUU Baptou] works with the google documents and manages Rural Couchsurfing in [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=32312t Europe]. See what is happening in the [http://www.couchsurfing.com/group.html?gid=18641 Rural CS 'Team'] group as well.

As different country groups are created and become active, access to add people to the map will be given to different rural country group moderators once there has been some sort of discussion as to what rural means for that country/area.

== Maps ==

To help promote Rural Couchsurfing it is envisioned that 'Rural Maps' networking all the rural hosts in a particular country/region can be created. This will allow people who want to experience rural couchsurfing to go from rural host to rural host without having to spend a lot of time determining who is living in the suburbs/small towns and who is actually rural.

The maps need are managed by local
