Revision as of 14:52, 11 September 2007
- Please leave your questions and request related to Hitchwiki in other languages. If you want you can write in French, German or Spanish.
Contents
-1 articles?
On the front page of the French and the German Hitchwiki it now says that there are -1 articles. Is this just temporary? guakasite, wikitalk 20:35, 10 September 2007 (CEST)
- I hope so ;) I have no idea what the reason for this is, but I'll surely fix it. --MrTweek 20:42, 10 September 2007 (CEST)
- It's fixed now, at least in the German version. I think you need at least 1 or 2 articles (excluding main page, templates, user pages, etc) to get this working properly. --MrTweek 21:29, 10 September 2007 (CEST)
Images
It would be great if the same images were usable on all Hitchwikis. Maybe something for the future? It might even be somehow possible to get in touch with Wikimedia Commons, and use that one as our image repository? guakasite, wikitalk 20:35, 10 September 2007 (CEST)
- Unfortunately, it is not possible to use completely shared repositories. But you can define one external repository for each wiki. So we could the English one as a global repository, because it has the most images. Would be cool if you could ask the guys from wikimedia commons. Or maybe their repository is already open for third-party wikis? --MrTweek 20:42, 10 September 2007 (CEST)
- Alright, I configured that. You can now use images from the local wiki, but also from the wiki. If an image exists in both wikis, the local version will be displayed. --MrTweek 22:47, 10 September 2007 (CEST)
Newsletter
I think it might be a good Idea to send a newsletter to all registered users. Many users probably forgot about hitchwiki but might be more interested to work on a wiki in their language.
I'll start a draft here, feel free to add something.
Draft
Dear fellow hitchhiker,
maybe you have already seen that hitchwiki is now multilingual.
SAn from Argentina started a Spanish wiki that you can find at http://www.autostopwiki.com.ar/.
Abgefahren e.V., the German hitchhiking club startet a German one at http://de.hitchwiki.org/.
Because we had some French users lately, we also decided to set up http://fr.hitchwiki.org.
If you are familiar with one of those languages, we want to invite you to help building these wiki, no matter if you add new content, or just translate from the English pages.
Also, if you are interested in having hitchwiki in any other language, and have a little time to work on that, just let us know, we are happy to start a wiki in more languages.
happy hitching,
<Maybe we should sign with our names rather then something like "your hitchwiki team">
