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
