It isn't that hard to do...I've gotten this US federal tax-exempt status myself for a group; it ain't difficult....and don't understand the hold-up for CS. Can any knowledgeable person explain?

At least since I started with CS seriously in 2006 "communication" was promised regulary but replaced by marketing bloats, announcements - if anything happens at all ... so to be fair we've to face the fact: this time "coming soon" was really fast;). But as I've written above: without any content it's just another dead end anyway. (Probably again not the volunteers fault, as some of them really try to change things until they understand: This won't happen under the rule of the actual LT.)

Half a year ago - ok, to be fair: from Fri, 25 Jul 2008 is just five and a half month - the cs-blog announces "The CouchSurfing News Channels - Coming Soon!" and now it's released. But besides introducing the slowest cs-page so far (heavy, but useless js-script abuse), it's just: nothing. What's so awesome about showing the last posts of some random groups and posts from a blog that's not used anymore? The RSS-feeds / subscriptions? First the "features" are nothing really new as they were available on the group pages already, second who's interested in "news" from last summer and a meeting announcement for sept 2008?!? Maybe the "new" advertisement for müvmédia from Wed, 10 Sep 2008 is the killer argument? Only someone who thinks "soon" is "5 month plus" for a simple internet page could sell this as "news channel" ... or do I have a language problem with the word "news"? Wow.
