Based on a request from Brian Ball, I've come up with:

Chris' famous five steps to getting started with your coworking initiative

1. join coworking@googlegroups.com
2. add your location to the wiki (name it CoworkingCity or CoworkingCityProvince)
3. blog about it
4. start hunting for others doing the same thing outside the coworking community
5. and if you find no one, bootstrap a location like a library or cafe until you build up enough interest to pay for your own space
