Hello Space Catalyst!

First off, let us tell you that u rock! Starting a space is a very cool thing to do. :)

So, Space Catalysts are those who are in the process of setting up a space, from putting your stake in the ground (adding your intent to the wiki here under your locale) to meeting potential partners, all the way to opening your doors the first day...then you become a Space Owner, which is super fly!

We'd like to get you there...

How do you get involved?

We'd really love to start gathering resources that make your space finding, funding and building a reality. Here are a few things you can do to start accessing the resources here:

1. Put your stake in the ground and list yourself and your intent under your desired location. The process is to find your city (if your city isn't listed, type 'CoworkingYourCity' in Camel Case under the proper area on the homepage), then list your intents on that page with your contact information. You may even find a partner or two there. If there are already spaces on the city page, make a page for your own.
2. Join the Coworking Google Group and post your intent. The over 500 people there are an asset for you...you could either find advice, support, coworkers, partners, funders or spaces through that list. You will always find a helpful community.
3. If you have a blog or your own wiki, etc., make sure you link it from your page so that others can follow along with what you are doing.
4. Join the IRC chatroom at #coworking on freenode.net to find instant feedback
5. Document your progress on the Blog. Just ask Chris Messina or Tara Hunt to add you!
6. Look for mentors on the Space Owners page and below (not every Space Owner is a mentor, and not every mentor is a Space Owner). Their experience will really help guide you.
7. List your needs and questions below, so that the answers can help future Catalysts

What do you need from us?

List your needs/questions below.

1). Looking for a PricingExamples?

2). Has anyone ever created a "new coworker" handbook that helps answers various questions to a prospective desk owner? Maybe a Coworker's Guide?

3). I would like to know more about the legal issues for running a space? (Permits, Liablilities, etc...)
