Wikivoyage in Germany is apparently poised to debut the new travel wiki website in English. Internet Bands proposed a partnership, and now the courts will sort out the dispute.
Two weeks before suing two Wikitravel volunteers in late August, alleging theft of intellectual property and unfair competition in a civil conspiracy with the Wikimedia Foundation to create a new travel wiki website, Internet Brands proposed a partnership with the foundation.
Behind-the-scenes plot twists are coming to light in the midst of dueling lawsuits by Internet Brands and the Wikimedia Foundation, the parent of Wikipedia, and the prospect that a new English language travel wiki website, hosted by Wikivoyage in Germany, could make its debut very shortly.
To recap, on August 23 the Wikimedia community voted 540-152 to transition the Creative Commons content hosted by Internet Brands' for-profit Wikitravel into a new, not-for-profit travel wiki website supported by the Wikimedia Foundation.
