"If you believe digihitch has more sections and resources that should be mentioned on Hitchwiki, go ahead and add them yourself! Make sure to credit digihitch.com whenever you excerpt our content, or credit the original source found on our pages."
Does that mean that it's okay to copy from Digihitch? Did you ever consider using a free license for (parts of) Digihitch?
:We are working to add more [http://www.creativecommons.org creative commons licenses] to certain parts of our content. [[:digi:world/|digihitch World]] will have its descriptive content be so, and I have been creating U.S. Road Laws pocket guides to go along with the [http://guides.digihitch.com/phrases Hitchhiking Phrasebooks] that can be reproduced and modified freely. At this time we do not allow anyone to copy whole pages of digihitch content and place them on their own site, but we will not make trouble for anyone who takes a few sentences or a paragraph from digihitch.com and shares more about it, as long as they tell their visitors the info was found on digihitch.
And, I noticed that some parts on digihitch (e.g. [http://www.digihitch.com/world/East-Asia/China on the China page]) are copied from Wikitravel, without any mention of the CC-BY-SA license. That could be a problem at some point.
:Thanks for telling me this. We link to wikitravel whenever we use part of their content, but I will need to change my format to give proper credit according to the license.
Something else: do you know what happened to the founder of the original Hitchhiker's Guide to Hitchhiking? I would like to thank him for starting the whole thing. Especially now that it's finally becoming really cool! [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 12:57, 4 December 2006 (CET)
:Teppo Moisio is the originator of the hitchhiking wiki at hitchhikingguide.org and also one of the founders of [http://www.liftari.org Liftari.org, a Finnish hitchhiking website]. Teppo has had some great things to say about the purpose of a hitchhiking wiki. I do recommend you speak with him and share ideas. He would be very glad to see you making such great use of the concept! [[User:Salman|Salman]] 12:24, 11 December 2006 (CET)
