| − | ===cheapest hostels===
| |
| − | i think we should include a list of the cheapest hostels in the mayor cities....should i just start, in the country/city sections or should we include a different menu? if you have a LP or know cheap hostels please write em down here.
| |
| − | : In some articles we already have that, like [[Hannover]] or [[Milano]]. However, in bigger cities there are usually hundreds of hostels and you can always find the cheapest one via [http://www.hostelworld.com/ Hostelworld], you can even check wether they have free beds. But if you know good hostels for any towns, just add them. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<small><sup>[http://http://www.liftershalte.info/ site], [[user talk:MrTweek|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 09:37, 4 October 2007 (CEST)

| − | ===Different names of cities in other languages===
| |
| − | Hey, today I found out that there a dozen of other names of cities in other languages. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_European_cities_in_different_languages This wikipage] shows the most of them. I guess that we should at least redirect city names not from all languages (would be a lot of work) but from the most essential. Here the next question comes up, which languages are essential? I think redirects of city names in English, French, Spanish, German and Russian would cover the most at the moment. Any suggestions?

| − | ==IRC channel or message board==
| |
| − | I was thinking last night while at work that it would be really nice if we had an IRC channel. I love the wiki, but I think that a channel would help strengthen our community. A message board I'm not quite as sure about, because I hate sites that try to serve content via a board, but I'd be willing to mod a punBB or something to integrate well with the wiki so that we didn't "split" our content or do away with talk pages. I'm already idling #hitchwiki on Efnet (I'm Gh0ul) if anyone is interested in it! [[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Zac Stewart|talk]]</sup></small> 15:05, 17 August 2007 (CEST)
| |
| − | : IRC would be fine for me. Maybe we can also use a jabber chat room (should also be compatible with google talk). I'm not sure if i like EFnet, yet, but I think I could live with it ;)
| |
| − | : I really don't want a message board, that's hard to combine with a wiki in a senseful way. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 21:25, 17 August 2007 (CEST)

| |
| − | I was justly thinking in my way from Croatia to France today that it should be great to have a wiki about hitchhaking and I see that it's done!. Unfortunaly my english is not good enough (OK i'm a french guy) to participate on it but it is steel a really good thing. I know a website in french http://membres.lycos.fr/bpierret/hitchike.htm wich have realy good information about where to do auto stop in the cities. Someone should translate it. --[[User:Kimdime69|Kimdime69]] 22:18, 5 September 2007 (CEST)
| |
| − | : If there is enough interest, we would be glad to start a french version of hitchwiki (there is already a spanish one). However I don't speak french, so it would be important that at least 1 or 2 people are responsible for taking care of it. Just let me know --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 22:44, 5 September 2007 (CEST)
| |
| − | ::Well I will not be the good man to start a french version, if there is one maybe I would participate but I'm quite sceptic about the viability of such thing when I see than even in the english version there is so much to do. --[[User:86.200.233.223|86.200.233.223]] 15:05, 6 September 2007 (CEST)

I don't speak any french, so I'll leave it to you. It would be good to find some native french speaker as an admin. Please do not announce the German version yet.

| − | == Truck companies ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I think that there should be a place to write down witch truck companies that drives from witch places to witch and when. We all have some numbers to truckdrivers, not putting them on display here of course but telling the rout, company and times to role...
| |
| − | I am googeling companys right now driving Paris to Barcelona, but I cant find anything in english... Anyone ideas about how to google or companies that might drive?
| |
| − | : I'm not so sure if that information might really be so useful. Truck are always the slowest way to get somewhere, so I usually try to avoid getting picked up by trucks, especially when leaving big cities. Also, there are probably a lot of trucks on major routes like Paris->Barcelona every day. jm2c --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<small><sup>[http://http://www.liftershalte.info/ site], [[user talk:MrTweek|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 16:06, 14 September 2007 (CEST)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ::On the other hand, it ''is'' a certain way to get somewhere. From Paris to Barcelona is hard to do during the daylight of one day (even on the 21st of June), so going with a truck would be a very good alternative. Maybe it would be good to know if there are companies that are likely to help hitchhikers somewhere. I have never tried it myself though... and I probably wouldn't. I don't like planning so much :) [[User:guaka|guaka]]<small><sup>[http://guaka.org site], [[user talk:guaka|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 18:17, 14 September 2007 (CEST)

| |
| − | ==political borders vs. cultural borders==
| |
| − | I'm just thinking about how we should treat borders. In my opinion, cultural borders are more important than political borders. For example in Ireland, there is a political border, but it is open, and even the locals don't see this as a real border. Also, I'm sure there is no difference between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, regarding to hitchhiking. So I want the atricle [[Ireland]] to cover the whole Island and put a note about this in the article [[Northern Ireland]]. I'm not sure, wether there are other countries whith such a situation (maybe [[Belgium]]?) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<small><sup>[http://http://www.liftershalte.info/ site], [[user talk:MrTweek|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 10:36, 24 September 2007 (CEST)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :: We have to define clear guidelines for that. If we don t we soon get confrontated with Spanish Regions who want to be independen (Katalunia, Basque Country, Galicia, etc.) We have to state somewhere how we decide on those issues.
| |
| − | I would recommend to take the official definitions of countries and link in Ireland to the Northern Ireland Article and Vice Verse - might be easier for the search as well. [[User:Fabzgy|Fabzgy]] 18:30, 25 September 2007 (CEST)
| |
| − | ::: Of course, we need to link them in both directions anyway. But I'm wondering wether we should put content into the article of northern Ireland. Because there won't be any difference between northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. That's why I would use the article [[Ireland]] for the whole island, and leave northern Ireland as it is, a short article with some references where to find information. My proposal in general would be: Create article for the political regions, and in case there is something special about hitchhiking in a certain cultural region, we can make another article and link it whereever possible. I.e. like in the German hitchwiki, there is an article about Lapland, which is a region in Sweden, Finland and Norway. This would mean, Katalunia, Galicia, etc can have their own articles, if hitchhiking is different there. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<small><sup>[http://http://www.liftershalte.info/ site], [[user talk:MrTweek|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 09:28, 26 September 2007 (CEST)

| |
| − | What do you think about cooperation with other websites and web communities based on the idea of open world? For example Hospitality Club ( www.hospitalityclub.org ) - something absolutely great for hitchhikers and for other people too. I've got a vision - great community of web 'open world' communities, cooperating with each other and helping their members to enjoy our beatiful planet fully.
