Why attribute Wikitravel? The license only requires the author to be
attributed, not the first publisher. Ideally, content will be copied
across with the page history intact, which will constitute the
appropriate attribution (in the same way it does on Wikipedia). I
haven't been following too closely - are there any dumps available? It
seems unlikely it will be possible to get any now (I doubt IB can be
compelled to provide one).
