There's also a version of [http://couchwiki.org/fr/ Couchwiki in French] now :)  The links aren't working properly yet.  I'll happily set up other languages if there's enough interest, (especially German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or Swedish).  We just need some people (or even just one person) who is willing to take care of it enough, i.e. put up a front page and check for spam regularly, and ideally make sure there are new articles every week.  [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:27, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to leave questions and comments here. Also see project:tech for technical issues.

For different organisation

Here a page about using couchwiki for BeWelcome, Hospitality Club, BeLodged, Global Freeloaders, Servas etc...

Interwiki links

I'm trying to set up some interwiki links. But there always seems to be a caching issue. So far I've done hitch, trash, cs and csgroup, if you want any others, just let me know. guaka 15:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Sharewiki.org please Matrixpoint 05:43, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

BW groups please Midsch 19:50, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

wikipedia (probably active by default) and wikitravel please --Metal.lunchbox 20:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikivoyage would be nice --MrTweek 10:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

would it be possible to make a page about interwiki in couchwiki (brief explanation and how to use it ?) Bikepunk 01:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a nice article about interwiki :) Of course it could be useful to have an article here as well, feel free to start it, and note that this wiki is license compatible with Wikipedia, so you can copy parts from the Wikipedia article. guaka 10:42, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Feature request: Category sitemap in footer

If we could find an extension to display a context-sensitive sitemap based on the categories of a page, wouldn't that be awesome? Maybe this could even be done with jquery, so the browser could cache the category information between requests, and it doesn't add up to page size.

(maybe "sitemap" is the wrong term here, because I only want to show related stuff)

I could work on that when I have time.

Hey. Sure, could be nice. :) guaka 23:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Basic Organization of the wiki

Well there are a few pages and enough interest to start talking a little bit about how to organize the wiki. So far there seem to be 3 kinds of pages- location guide pages, pages about the wiki, and other pages. The later two will sort themselves out but the location guides follow an obvious logical hierarchy- World, region, country, (state,province), city, and extra pages attached to one of those levels like "Cycling in Germany" or "100 things to do in.." simple wiki links and templates could keep the pages organized according to the above logic and categories could help enforce it. does everyone pretty much agree on this?

I also want to say that generic categories like "Cities" or "country guides" are not useful and should be avoided. what do you guys think? --Metal.lunchbox 04:16, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Lunchbox! I agree. Feel free to remove those generic categories. guaka 22:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


Shared user accounts and shared images

Now you can use your login on the English couchwiki also for the other languages (so far French and Italian). And you can use images that have been uploaded here in other languages as well. guaka 22:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

It's now possible to directly use images from Wikimedia Commons!

Just find the image you want to use and put it here, e.g. [[File:Bandeau_France.png|300px]] for Bandeau France.png from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bandeau_France.png guaka Almost all images on Wikimedia Commons have been checked on copyrights, and it's highly encouraged to use them, and also to upload your own work there and then use it here. :) guaka 23:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Main Page layout

The Main Page is getting messy and ugly : here is a first draft/attempt to make it a bit better. (I would like to know how to use the "class=" in mediawiki, I didn't find anything clear with google). What do you think about it ? Bikepunk 22:26, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
