It is basically possible for anybody to produce a book or other similar publication from the contents of the site, as long as the derivative work is in the framework determined by the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Creative Commons Licence (CC-BY-SA)].; What's the point?==: Freely shared content will never be lost, as people can copy and distribute it. This also makes ''the Guide'' a project that everybody can benefit from – the articles are free to use for all the hitchhiking communities that already exist. And heck, wouldn't it be cool to see somebody actually publishing a printed hitchhiking guide after so many years?; Can I download the websites somehow to my computer?: Yep, You can download daily generated database dumps [[Hitchwiki:Database dumps|here]].; ''hitchhikingguide.org'', ''hitchhiking.wikia.com'', ''world.wikia.com'', ''hitchwiki.org'' – what is now what, what is related to what in which way?: Originally this wiki was started at hitchhikingguide.org as ''Hitchhiker's Guide to Hitchhiking'', by Teppo Moisio (who is also the originator of one of the founders of [[websites|Liftari.org]]). Because it was spammed all the time there, with no maintainer in sight, it was relaunched on Wikia as ''Hitchhiking Wiki'' on hitchhiking.wikia.com. Now it has its own domain, '''[http://hitchwiki.org hitchwiki.org]''' and its current name, '''[[Hitchwiki]]'''. The wiki moved from hitchhiking.wikia.org to hitchwiki.org in November 2006. We transferred all the pages (including user pages and images) to here, but unfortunately, Wikia didn't let us export user-accounts, so you will have to register here again. Also, unfortunately Wikia made the old URL redirects to world.wikia.com, and we can't do anything about that. This seems to confuse a lot of people. Anyway, now we have our own domain and own databases, so the wiki will stay here forever!; How many people are contributing to the wiki?: By November 2011 we've had contributions from over 2300 of logged in users, and an unknown number of people who never created an account. For detailed statistics about users, articles and databases, see [http://www.hitchwiki.org/stats/reports/EN/Sitemap.htm the statistics].
