Since the last update [1], we've been busy (thanks Chris, Sam, Matthias, Daniel, Hans, Stefan, and everyone else who's helping) to get the new site set up. * We're almost done with the extension review. See info here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikivoyage_migration/Extensions * We've got an internal test set up on Wikimedia Labs that we've used to test imports and extensions. * We've finalized the account migration strategy and started implementing it. See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikivoyage_migration/Accounts https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Wikivoyage_Global_ID_Wo… * We've developed a draft agreement with Wikivoyage e.V. about the transfer of the domain names. The Wikivoyage e.V. members are currently voting on this: http://www.wikivoyage.org/assoc/14._Mitgliederversammlung_%28Online%29/TOP_… http://www.wikivoyage.org/assoc/14._Mitgliederversammlung_%28Online%29/Besc… It'll be final on Friday, after which point we can transfer wikivoyage.org to WMF. So right now our goal is to do the actual migration next week.
