Dear Sourav, Thank you for your interest to start the Wikivoyage project in Bengali. In the previous emails Jayanta da and Nurunnaby bhai mentioned different facts and suggestions. They have also mentioned why we should not start another project now. Wikivoyage is a project which contains articles of different places, mostly the tourist spots. The article structures are a little different than the Wikipedia articles but contains similar information. So if you are interested to enrich the Wikivoyage then first improve the related articles in Bengali WIkipedia. If you have a lot of quality articles on places then you should start the Wikivoyage project and we can move the articles from Wikipedia to Wikivoyage *--**Nasir Khan Saikat* <https://google.com/+NasirKhan> www.nasirkhn.com On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 11:23 PM, SOURAV DEY &lt;souravdey.news(a)gmail.com&gt;wrote;wrote: > Jayanta Da.. & Nurunnaby Da, > > > > Thank You for your suggestion about Wikivoyage for Bengali version.
