Hello everyone,
I hope you're well.
I thought you might like to know that the Wikimedia Foundation has today officially launched Wikivoyage, the free worldwide travel guide that anyone can edit. It's the 12th official Wikimedia project and it's fittingly been launched on Wikipedia's 12th birthday.
You can look at the site for yourself and get involved at www.wikivoyage.organd you can see the WMF's blog post, republished on our blog, at http://bit.ly/SEempz
Thanks and regards,
Stevie

I don't want to be unduly triumphalist.[*] But en.wikivoyage is already at ~500 changes/hour.

Thanks David. That is all good.
