[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Travel Guide: Board statement

[Stefan Fussan]

We have a complete set of articles and pictures including the complete 
history (August 2012 just a day before they disabled the api). We are 
about to migrate all articles on Wikivoyage. A test of Wikitravel:en 
articles and wikitravel:shared pictures on Wikivoyage is running. So we 
have a Wikivoyag/en and a second shared: now.  Its the first step to 
move it to the WMF.

Please take participate on the discussion - especially concerning the 
proper attribution...
