			== More about why this server is good ==

			Hi Guaka,

			Thanks for running this server. '''I appreciate you doing so at your expense and also with your time'''. This hopefully constructive criticism to '''help persuade those more stubborn then me to use it'''.

			If anyone else with more time and interest can do the deep background research to answer this question to hopefully persuade more people to trust and use this server it would be great.

			# Which provider are you using (shared hosting?). It's been reliable for me so far but I'm concerned that this may not be the case in the future. There are various free services on the internet to help with this.

Bikepunk: Using couchwiki.org for BeWelcome.org

2009-10-27T15:59:24Z

Using couchwiki.org for BeWelcome.org

New page

= Using couchwiki.org for BeWelcome.org =
I hope I'm writing in the good place, if not, please let me know.

So, BW users know that the wiki is currently moving from bevolunteer.org to an integrated version of erfurt wiki in BeWelcom itself.
I don't know about you but personally, I definitely prefer mediawiki than the solution being set up currently.

I would like to know then, how much sense does it make to use couchwiki for bewelcome.org, your opininon.

I think if we do so, we have to create special pages for each Hospitality networks like CouchSurfing, Hospitality Club, BeWelcome, BeLodged, Global Freeloaders, Servas etc. and make it more clear on the main page.

do we go further ?
