Cooperative news page

we now have a community news source, at Community Voice.

We can use this wiki to let everyone work on a cooperative news page. We don't even need to limit ourselves to Ambassadors or even CouchSurfers. As long as the one who sends the stuff out can be trusted it will be fine.

Guaka started a little news section on the front page of this wiki, which could be expanded into a bigger thing.

In the meantime there was a error message displayed when trying to load the CouchSurfing site telling about small "hiccups" being resolved at the moment and certainly being back on in short time.
