On the other hand, wikivoyage is more well known than wikitravel. LibreOffice is more well known than OpenOffice.
Ultimately though i think this is reasonable. If you go your own separate way you use a new name. If you give your project's name to someone else, that is your own stupid fault.
- aryonoco 1y agoFar to break it to you but OOo install base still dwarfs Libre Office. Nearly all on Windows.
- dirkc 1y agoAre you saying wikitravel has been forked to wikivoyage and that wikivoyage is the new one? I was looking through wikitravel a few weeks ago and felt sad
- easton 1y agoYes. Wikivoyage is actively being edited (although a lot of it is from wikitravel ~10 years ago)
- dirkc 1y agoGreat to know, next time I go somewhere I'll be sure to remember that and use/contribute to wikivoyage. Found some mildly interesting reading about it on reddit [1] [1] - https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/318v09/wikitravel_vs_wikivoyage/ https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/318v09/wikitravel_v...
- bawolff 1y agoYes, the creator of wikitravel sold it to a company called internet brands who ran it into the ground. Later it was forked (with the original creator's blessing afaik) into wikivoyage, which is run by wikimedia (same people who run wikipedia)
