:I must say I wouldn't support a merge with a german organisation, with all due respect, germans 'carsharing hitchhiking and its alike' are taking a load of these communities on the web and what I have always seen is that they are all being germanised. Which quite bother me as they become useless on many point. For some of the info communities I had seen by the past, the texts are then being written in german; losing its advantage to be accessible by many; and german seems to auto-promote themselves into an overwhelming majority... which usually ends up that most people from abroad ceases activities under the pressure. You can't promote an association abroad that has a national tag, it wouldn't work as it 'culturalise' the act of hitch-hiking which is then being interpretated as something others do (as country or culture) but not ours... so that should be a point to consider according to your future expectation for such wiki-association as such point of view will exists in Canada, US, UK, France etc...

::Hmmm, I really do understand your concerns, and that is a point which I really want to avoid. But due to the fact that we have different wikis for different languages, there will never be any German content here. abgefahren has it's own wiki now, and it will probably run under their domain soon, so that it doesn't even look like a German hitchwiki at the first sight. The only obvious change to hitchwiki would be, that [[Hitchwiki:Legal Notice|This Page]] will not need to show my private address. I think it can still be completely international, no matter who is standing behind it. And most of the [[Hitchwiki:Administrators|main contributors]] of hitchwiki are not German anyway. What do you think? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<small><sup>[http://http://www.liftershalte.info/ site], [[user talk:MrTweek|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 16:25, 17 September 2007 (CEST)
