So, the predictable effect will be that mid-size wikitravel language
versions which did not moved to wikivoyage before August will rather
stay on Wikitravel. There will be hard to find volunteers in these
langauges ready to go through painful and time consuming process of
incubator as there is already working wiki that anyone can join
without any obstacles...
