I fixed the links behind the images.

@Peter: Here: http://www.wikivoyage-association.org/wiki/Becoming_a_member

We welcomed new members already.

Paypal is available right now. I will send the paypal account's email address via email. Due to an server problem I had to use one my own email adress for the registration. I have to register a second (the official) email address to the associations paypal account. But it works already and I can send you the account's name via email. Later we are going to create a separate site that manages the whole paypal process. But it takes a moment. Till then people have to send it by hand using the paypal website.

We want to switch the settings of the wiki to make it multilingual - including the interface.

Looks like at http://www.wikivoyage-association.org/wiki/Becoming_a_member

By the way Fussi: it looks like the English join link is mixed up on http://www.wikivoyage-association.org/wiki/Main_Page (still needs to be translated but I imagine you know that... sorry I can't help with that :( ) . 

On the german sight the little blue man with a puzzle piece is the 'become a member ( Mitglied_werden ) link and the euro sign/red man is the donate/spenden link. However on the English side the two are reversed (and the puzzle == member makes more sense so I assume that way is right).

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
