Hi all,
I thought you might be the right crew to be interested and in a good position to give your opinion and comment on what I find an interesting idea for a new Wikimedia Project, that of a travel wiki.
To make a long story short, a number of people who are currently active on another Wiki (about) Travel have asked if the WMF would consider taking them on into a new Wikimedia Project, a wiki travel guide.
I think this fits extremely well with WLM, so I'd find it great if those among you that are interested would go and comment here:
Proposal and interested people: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Travel_Guide Discussion: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki_Travel_Guide Request for comments: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki_Travel_Guide#RfC_regarding_.22Trave...
Cheers,
Delphine
thanks Delphine for the pointer! Sounds like a cool project, and definitely something we need to look out for how we can work together most effectively. Somehow it feels natural to work together, although I have problems so far with coming up with specific ideas. I hope others are more creative than me!

An obvious thing would be to incorporate the monument lists converting them into attraction lists on WT. I would, however, personally not do it before the project gets finally accepted by WMF and starts fully operating without ads. Right now it looks like it will be accepted in the end, but some issues still need to be sorted out, and there have been some objections.

Well the obvious question is what's in it for us? As Yaroslav has pointed out, there will be a lot of work to wikify the ads out. does Wiki travel have cool tools, like maybe a walking-map generator that can be created from a set of coordinates in a monuments list? Because then it seems worth it. Jane

Hello,
may be it does not suit You at all, but thought, that I would use the travel wiki as a mobile travel guide. If I than happen to see that some monuments in the town I have my holiday are not yet in Commons through WLM, I can either participate in the contest, if the month is September, or simply add the foto to complete the list at any time of the year. Doing something good and having a good time. This could be done by a list "photos still missing" linking each item to its GPS data and the national heritage ID number.
