When does a wiki become useful?
For now, we consented that a wiki is considered useful as soon as it has more than 40 articles, include an article about one country where the language is spoken and articles about some major cities.
All languages that don't meet these criteria will be listed under the "under construction" section on the Start Page. They are either very new or not active. If you speak the language and want to make it useful, just start working on it right now ;) Ask us for admin rights, we'll be happy to give them to anyone who can help.
Translations
We are managing the translations of our own projects (such as hitchwiki maps) here. Let us know if you are native in any language that is not existing or not complete, or if you just want to proof-read an existing translation.
