Draft of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage_2013/CentralNotice
for launch week is:

-------------------
This week we are launching [http://wikivoyage.org Wikivoyage]—join us

in creating a free travel guide that anyone can edit

-------------------

Regarding the Wikivoyage.org link in the notice, _external_ format
full URL link is used on purpose--external link icon helps communicate
that Wikivoyage is a separate website, not a travel section of
Wikipedia, which is part of the WP / WV differentiation message. Also,
we _want_ people to go through the Wikivoyage portal their first time
to Wikivoyage so that they are aware of our language versions.

__Please help translate__ the notice if you can.
    ----------------------------

Thx
Roger :-)
