	Couchwiki was started by the same person who started the original couchsurfing wiki in 2006 (and hitchwiki a bit later, and trashwiki in 2008). Since 2007 the couchsurfing wiki wasn't really maintained anymore and in 2009 it was announced that it would be deleted. This deletion finally happened in 2013, which finally allowed a proper wiki community around hospitality exchange to come into life.
