Welcome to Wikicouch: Your informal workspace which really anyone can edit. WikiCouch is a Travel community guide for anyone involved in hospitality exchange networks. We have a lot of experience with wikis and we think that anyone should be able to edit this wiki. We try to avoid setting rules but we will have some guidelines.

Announcement of Couchwiki
It’s been in the pipeline for a while. In fact, I should have done this in 2006 ;) Still, now it’s 2009 and I’m happy to hereby announce Couchwiki.org:
“WikiCouch is open to anyone and everyone. It is in keeping with the philosophy of inclusion and open hospitality. We believe in decentralized control, self-moderation and that everyone has something valuable to contribute.”
- Available under the Creative Commons ShareAlike Attribution license.
- Open for editing to anyone. You don’t have to log in – but it’s appreciated if you do – you can also log in with OpenID.
- Independent from the official CouchSurfing organization, but supportive the CouchSurfing community.
- Very soon: a version in French and in other languages if requested by the community.
- We have registered several domains, and there will be a discussion about the domain name where all participants are welcome to join.
- Several nice extensions are installed, and if needed I’ll be happy to install more.
- The costs of running a wiki are very low – to me. No worries about that, I’m happy to take care of the technical and financial aspects of the server.
- In the future we’ll have XML dumps for downloading.
Let me know if there are any issues. And… Enjoy! guaka 01:34, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
