[Wikimedia-l] Wikivoyage project launch/migration update

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
How many original Wikivoyage projects exist that have not been
automagically exported exist ?? With Portuguese as the example, it would
make sense to have it started in its own wiki. The language committee has
made an exception for existing projects. The Portuguese project exists and
as such it can start there is nothing about what has been technically
possible to export/import in this.

The only thing we expect is a previously existing project. It will be nice
to have a list of languages that fit this bill.
Thanks,
      Gerard
