I'm happy to help with little things, but I would be even happier if there was more transparency in the organisation and if volunteer contributions would be accepted with more open arms than what is the case currently.

'''Kasper''' was the [[Tech Team Coordinator]] of [[CouchSurfing]] from October 2006 till February 2007.
He stopped volunteering for CouchSurfing when chumminess appeared to be much more important than intelligence. See '''[http://opencouchsurfing.org opencouchsurfing.org]''' for more information.

He's also been the '''CouchSurfing [[Wiki Slave]]''' since he started the CouchSurfing Wiki on the 11th of August 2006.  Together with [[Joe Edelman]] he is a key member of [[Joe and Kasper Consulting]].

__NOTOC__
He's a ''Wikimaniac'' and administrator of many other wikis (such as the [[:hitch:|Hitchwiki]] and the [http://bm.wikipedia.org/ Bambara Wikipedia]).  He has been in [[Europe]], [[Mali]], [[India]], [[South America]], [[North America]] and will be in [[New Zealand]] as of the 27th of October.

* What happens to the information, of the wiki, contact information, when there is a problem bigger than the [[CS 2.0 Phoenix crash]]?
:I think that some information should be released under a free license, such as the software of the site and the texts that have been written on the wiki. It should be possible for people to get own back-up of information (such as email, address) from the contacts that trust them (could be implied by a level of friendship, vouching, ...).

=== Different networks ===
Networks for [[hitchhiking]], [[goods exchange]], ...

* [[OpenID]] for single sign-on
* Friends on one network should be friends on other network
* [[Information exchange]]
