[Foundation-l] Wiki Travel Guide

[Ziko van Dijk]

Hello,

Possibly, what is educational in Wikitravel (-voyage) can go into
Wikipedia, and what not, is not educational.
One might get problems with policies such as NOR and NPOV. I suppose
that they should be applied on Wiki Travel Guide, as on Wikipedia,
Wikibooks and other Wikimedia sites.

Kind regards
Ziko
