I would tend to refrain from linking directly to enWikivoyage for languages that don't exist. For those I'd personally link to the portal to give people a chance to choose, we don't know what language they would prefer and we don't want to make it seem like the one they prefer doesn't exist (for example I know welsh editors who would prefer spanish rather then english since they hail from the nice welsh communities in Argentina ).

For languages that do exist I'm fine with linking to the language itself but will leave that decision to those of you who are much more involved in the projects then I am :) I'm just a lackey that does the will of the community ;) While any meta admin can change it, and I certainly won't stop them, I would personally prefer to wait until we have a bit of a better consensus given the relatively strong disagreement here on the list . I understand roger wanting to get it settled as quickly as possible but it'll be up for a while and I really don't want an edit war on something like this :). I'm sure we can figure it out fast  

On a completely unrelated note is anyone collecting press links for the launch on wiki? We're getting a nice collection :).

It is my opinion that we should link from the language version in which WV exists to that language version as suggested by Roger. Keep it simple.
