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 language.
But how about languages already existing in Wikitravel? They already have the content, if not the community.
As Gerard said, the existing languages for Wikivoyage should start without any interference.
But the question is about exisitng Wikitravel languages. For example there is hebrew Wikitravel but there is no hebrew Wikivoyage.
http://wikitravel.org/he/%D7%A2%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93_%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A9%D7%99
Actually the hebrew version of wikitravel has only 102 articiles but for example Polish:
http://wikitravel.org/pl/Strona_g%C5%82%C3%B3wna
has 2585, although actually is in fact half-dead and going through the incubator-language committee process will rather discourage the tiny community of Polish wikitravel to switch to vikivoyage, so the effect will be that Polish wikivoage won't appear in predictable future. I guess the same will be with other mid-size wikitravel language versions of which there are a couple around...
Hope I am wrong anyway :-)
