As of 2009 Wikitravel uses the same license, so it's possible to copy stuff back and forth. It could be good to add information about hitchhiking to Wikitravel - just to promote the concept to a wider public. Note though that hitching info will get lost in big articles containing a lot of irrelevant information for hitchhikers. Apart from that, a lot of stuff on Wikitravel simply gets deleted. Also note that Wikitravel still doesn't provide a database dump and that is needed to make versions for devices like phones. (Hitchwiki database dumps are available at http://hitchwiki.org/dumps/). Since 2012 much of the editor activity (and a significant amount of the readership) has moved to the non-profit [https://en.wikivoyage.org Wikivoyage], a direct competitor with the support of Wikipedia's parent organization (see below). === [https://en.wikivoyage.org Wikivoyage] ===Wikivoyage is the non-profit alternative to Wikitravel, run by the Wikimedia Foundation (like Wikipedia). Most of Wikitravel's original editors [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikitravel#Community_fork_in_2012 moved to Wikivoyage] in 2012 after major commercialization of Wikitravel and dissatisfaction with its management. It is also distributed under the same license as Hitchwiki, so things can be copied back and forth from it too, and it may also be a good place to spread the word about hitchhiking.
