Can someone translate this back into English? Sounds better structured ;)

• Das Konzept eines Wiki besteht darin, Informationen und Wissen möglichst effizient öffentlich zugänglich zu machen. Jeder kann eigene Artikel schreiben und bestehende Artikel bearbeiten - und sei es nur um Tippfehler zu beheben. Dieses Konzept brachte Wikipedia einen bahnbrechenden Erfolg. Auch das Wachstum des Hitchwiki ist sehr vielversprechend.

Wikipedia

If we get to be mentioned in the press we can try to get an article up on Wikipedia. That would definitely improve our pagerank and visibility. guaka^{site, wikitalk} 23:06, 5 September 2008 (CEST)

What kind of article? A hitchwiki-article, or only in their news? Wikipedia tags any links with rel='nofollow', so it would only improve visibility, but that would still be great :) --MrTweek 21:57, 10 September 2008 (CEST)
