Honestly, when I saw "[edit this]", I thought it was Yet Another Illegal Mirror, but they actually seem to have gathered their own contents, under cc-by-sa-1.0
I see competition to WikiTravel...

Yes, and they are coming to Wikimania. They would love to talk about what they are doing; even sent a very-late abstract submission.

It's not wiki. It's a pseudo-hypertext format (you get a choice of two flavours of markup - bold and italic! - and links), and 1 image per article. They also have information on businesses (eg. hotels, internet cafés) so I don't see how it won't just degenerate into mindless spam. Still, it will be interesting to see what happens, give the LA Times recent experience.

It used to be more of a real wiki, when it was capitancook.com, but that merged with world66 in 2003. http://web.archive.org/web/20031002021425/www.capitancook.com/index.php

Just to clarify, this isn't a recent project. It's been around in some form since at least 2002 and has 80,000 articles and an Alexa ranking of 13000 (http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&range=2y&size=medium&y=t&url=world66.com) so is already somewhat successful.

It would be interesting to know how they changed license. They used to be GFDL.

I wonder how they coped before then...

Ah... how does Wikitravel compare to this?

Wait - that's a double step backwards! They went to a version 1.0 CC? Yes, it would be interesting to see how they did it - they must have dumped all the old entries...
