The Wikivoyage project is online now and i want to thank all of you who have been involved with this process.
On the former Wikivoyage project we used to have a wiki called general: for discussions that affect all language versions. I wonder why the WMF project dont have something like this. Now I am trying to find a new place where we all can:
- discuss new features
- discuss about the travel guide's structure
- coordinate the work with templates to reduce redundant work
- coordinate the work on travel maps
- providing a set of English meta articles with rules and regulations that
we can hand over the community when a new language version is going to start
- providing a list of star articles in all language versions. Contributors
to an article will have an easy access to basic information without looking through all wikis. Speaking a foreign language is not necessary to pick basic information (structure of districts, list of sights, addresses, hotels ...)
I know, there is the meta wiki. But I am not sure. Maybe its too meta. And the discoussion page or a Wikivoyager's Lounge may be too small. Ok... the set of meta articles can be placed in anywhere the Incubator. But the remaining stuff? Maybe a separate Namespace for the WMF projects at Meta, maybe a wiki like our general:
Any ideas?
Maybe the simplest solution would be to create a meta wikiproject and associated portal?
