Sorry, it was such a busy time here. Here is the report from Germany:

Since the press release we got a huge amount of edits and new users. I think some of them will stay ans edit frequently. Fortunately there is not too much spam. We recieved quite a lot good content and there are no real tendencies to write a second Wikipedia - justy inquiries for categories and references. We created lots of categories. The other discussion is currently down. How do the other communities think about that?

The reaction of the Germam press was huge. After the official press release of WMDE me and Roland had interviews with newspapers (quite big ones in Germany like Die Welt, Die Zeit and Süddeutsche) as well as an interview with a radio station. The start was absolutely perfect.

When the busy start is over we should spend more time in interaction between the language versions to drive things forward. One point was mentioned above already. The policies. I am aware the English community has mor and more detailed ones as we have. Meanwhile we are aware the we lack in some details. Reviewing our policies and create mor global ones seems to be very useful.

I have moved our association wiki, changed the database, updated to the latest wiki version and redesigned it. There are some more things to do (some translations) but the basic information are available. I am about to extend it. Especially the "About us" section has to be reviewed and translated. The application to become a Thematic Organisation is running. Everybody is invited to join the association. It's important to become more international to support all current and future language versions and start new ideas and projects. http://www.wikivoyage-association.org
