Hitchwiki:Collaboration of the month

We all love hitchhiking. And to make our favorite road-activity more useful, efficient and simple, we use hitchwiki to share our knowledge on good hitchhiking spots, country specific information and for lovely projects all around the thumb. During the past four years hitchwiki grew furiously towards one of the main ressources on the world wide web for hitchhikers. Lots of inspiring information has been gathered.

With the collaboration of the month, we want to push this growth one step further. To get the community behind hitchwiki a bit closer together, we want contributors to work together on a range of articles for a month, collecting knowledge on a specific event, country or city. While anyone can edit any article at any time, this provides a way to highlight specific articles allowing many contributors to help improve them together.

If you're new to hitchwiki and editing wiki's in general, it' can be a good start to begin with the Help articles.

How To
Below a todo-list will be created each month on the topic chosen by the community. It is up for all contributors to pick out some points and start editing the relevant articles. Everyone can add comments to the todo-list if he/she thinks information is missing on specific topics. It's also possible to suggest themes for the upcoming month.
