Hi folks,
a quick update on the launch of a travel project under the WMF
umbrella, and the import of the existing Wikivoyage site.
* The name of the new site will be wikivoyage.org, per community vote.
Language domains will live at (foo).wikivoyage.org.
* A mailing list has been set up at
https:
Exciting stuff!
Don't forget to provision .m domains for wikivoyage if a mobile version is
expected (I imagine it is). As a side note, it would be great if
provisioning .m domains was sop for setting up new domains.

Hi Erik,
What languages are you launching with and what is the procedure for
launching new languages?

We're basing the initial set on the languages which are ready for
import from Wikivoyage. At this point, it looks like that would be

A great update. Thanks Erik!

Hoi,
This has been discussed in the language committee. In the committee we all
agreed that the existing languages for Wikivoyage should start without any
interference of us and that new languages should start through the normal
process because from now they are just like any other new project in a

Probably a practical question: As Wikitravel closed the API in August,
there is probably no more data that Wikivoyage could rescue from the
project than now is available in Wikivoya

People have copies of all language versions of the old site as of Aug of
2012. It should be possible to set them up as well. What we would need
would be a community of editors to request it. No real sense creating dead
wiki that fill with spam. However it would also be nice if we could stream

Hoi,
From my perspective, what is relevant is that we do not want to interfere
with languages that exist in Wikitravel. It is quite likely that most of
these languages are quite good from a localisation point of view.
What makes sense if several languages are not in Wikivoyage yet, we can
extend o

So, if you've not been following along on wikivoyage-l (
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikivoyage-l ), you
should know that Wikivoyage is now hosted on WMF servers. :) We're
currently in "beta", as there's still lots of smaller and larger
issues to work through, including transferrin

It's correct that the dumps of all languages from August 2012 are available
at Wikivoyage saved as XML files.
But these files could not be used to publish them immediately because they
contain a lot of spam which must be removed by the community before.
But the co

So you're telling me there's files, but you will not import because no one
of the Portuguese speakers helped in the cleaning process? Then I'll
have to start
from scratch (something that already exists), denying the existence of a
