Dear James,
In general the idea sounds interesting, and Wikitravel is certainly
one of the notable wiki community projects. But I am not sure whether
Wikitravel (or the content it provides) fit into the scope of
Wikimedia. Is it really 'educational' content?
Kind regards

I think I would consider it educational. Travel itself is an

Hello,
Possibly, what is educational in Wikitravel (-voyage) can go into

Following up on the Wikimedia Foundation's Board resolution on Funds
Dissemination[1], we are launching work on the design of the Funds
Dissemination Committee[2] To help in the design and implementation work

Can you explain why we need this proposed process? The decision has
been made to form a committee to make recommendations to the WMF board
about funds dissemination. The only decision still to be made, as far
as I can see, is who should be on the committee.
