The proposal for the Wikimedia Movement to take on a travel site continues to develop. The site WikiVoyage www.wikivoyage.com at their last board meeting has agreed in principle to join a WMF run site. This will mean that the WM movement has the potential ability to bring two communities of editors back together, those of WikiVoyage and those of Wikitravel.
The full proposal is here http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Travel_Guide which we hope to present to the WMF board the day before Wikimania in Washington. The outcome of the boards decision will than be announced at Wikimania. We are also planning on having an informal get together of all those interested in travel content during lunch on July 12th at Wikimania (13:00 to 14:00).
