	Wikitravel was another nice project that was taken over by money. Meanwhile Wikivoyage has come up as a very decent alternative :) I was so free and changed all Wikitravel interwiki links into links to Wikivoyage. I hope nobody minds. If so, let me know and I'll see what I can do about it.

			== [[Couchwiki]] or [[:nomad:\|Nomadwiki]]? ==
			I would like to [[:nomad:Community_portal#Info_from_other_wiki_.3F\|move travel-related content from Sharewiki to Nomadwiki]]. Now i looked into [[Couchwiki]] and found many [[:Category:Stub_articles\|stubs]] on regional pages and thought it might not be used that much. It looks a bit like the main intention was to escape from the now dead couchsurfingwiki. Would it be worth to move pages on hospitality to couchwiki or to nomadwiki, or even merge [[Couchwiki]] into [[:nomad:\|Nomadwiki]]?? [[Couchwiki.org:Related wikis]] is not that clear about that.
			This is what I could find as description for [[Couchwiki]]:
			* [[Couchwiki.org:About]]: ''"travel community guide ... but more personal and more about community activity."''
			* [[Couchwiki.org:How we want to keep Couchwiki]]: ''"global guide to hospitality exchange"''

			::::Sorry for the late replay, I've had some login-issues here. But so was some time to think about it. I think we shouldn't open pandoras box and don't use third part pics and scripts. It is a snooping tool, if not for you, definetely for the flag counter company. That's why it's free. And honestly I can't see an use for this special one anyway: You already have a build-in counter on each page to see if people are accessing it, what's the benefit of (mostly wrong) ip-location guessing and nationalist flags? (BTW: I'd like to get rid of national flags in the country headers as well, but they've been easy to get and use when I and several others tried to get some structure here ...)
