Draft of
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage_2013/CentralNotice
for launch week is:
-------------------
This week we are launching [
http://wikivoyage.org Wikivoyage]—join us
in creating a free travel guide that anyone can edit
-------------------
Regarding the
Wikivoyage.org link in the notice, _external_ format
full URL link is used on purpose--external link icon helps communicate
that Wikivoyage is a separate website, not a travel section of
Wikipedia, which is part of the WP / WV differentiation message. Also,
we _want_ people to go through the Wikivoyage portal their first time
to Wikivoyage so that they are aware of our language versions.
__Please help translate__ the notice if you can.
----------------------------
Thx
Roger :-)
