As you know :). Not trying to make too much of a splash given the beta status but hope more folks are going to get involved with cleanup issues.

Do note the point below about Incubator: To start a new language, just visit one that doesn't exist and follow the instructions provided, e.g.:

https://pl.wikivoyage.org

Other stuff that should already work: * HTTPS without warnings * Collection extension for PDFs/printed boooks * https://www.wikivoyage.org/ portal

Biggest remaining issues I'm aware of: * Mobile site (needs to be setup by ops) * Search index (needs to be regenerated, pending) * Potential additional issues with some user accounts (let us know)

So, if you've not been following along on wikivoyage-l ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikivoyage-l ), you should know that Wikivoyage is now hosted on WMF servers. :) We're currently in "beta", as there's still lots of smaller and larger issues to work through, including transferring images to Commons or local wikis as appropriate. But now's a great time to get involved if you want to help fix things. These are the languages that are live now:

https://en.wikivoyage.org/ https://de.wikivoyage.org/ https://ru.wikivoyage.org/ https://nl.wikivoyage.org/ https://it.wikivoyage.org/ https://sv.wikivoyage.org/

But, any other language code should gracefully redict you to Wikimedia Incubator, where you can easily get started to prove viability of a new language. :-)

Like I said: Lots of things are still wonky. If you notice something you can't fix, please report it on Bugzilla and add it as a blocker for the tracking bug here:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41184

While we're not done yet, I'd like to take this chance to thank everyone who's been part of the process so far:

* the existing communities for being awesome in supporting this migration :-) * Wikivoyage e.V. and especially Hans (for being our main tech contact managing the DB transfers), Stefan (for handling all the organizational fun), and Roland (for technical support and review). * the WMF technical launch team: Chris Steipp, Daniel Zahn, Matthias Mullie, Sam Reed + everyone who chipped in with help and support. * the WMF legal and community advocacy team: Geoff Brigham, Kelly Kay, Philippe Beaudette, and everyone else who helped. * anyone else I've forgotten to name :-)

All the best, Erik
