Yes but it will be much easier to fix things if we as volunteers have a place to work. I want to know that the images I move are working and if we have red links seeing them go none red will be proof.
The old wikivoyage will stay running. I am not expecting all the readers to switch right away. We at least need to put this in a work space at the WMF.

Just in converse. This is 2012, not Wikipedia in 2001. Quality attracts editors, while red links will deter them. Removing images from the articles would really be a shame.

This is really correct. We must attract new readers and authors. This can be done only with a well working site. And we have other competitors, so we must show that we are better. Red links are the opposite to a good site.
