Wikitravel
http://wikitravel.org/en/article/Main_Page

Wikitravel is a project to create a free, complete, up-to-date and reliable world-wide travel guide. So far we have 2353 destination guides and other articles written and edited by Wikitravellers from around the globe. The project was begun in July of 2003 by the two founders, Evan and Maj. It was inspired by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and by the needs of travellers for timely information that long book-publishing cycles can't seem to meet. Wikitravel is built with the spirit of sharing knowledge that makes travel so enjoyable. Whenever travellers meet each other on the road, they swap info about the places they came from and ask questions about places they're going. We want to make it easy to share that knowledge and let others share it; our copyleft license means that the facts you know can spread far and wide. To create Wikitravel we use a tool (or a process, or a technology) called WikiWiki which lets any Internet reader create, update, edit, and illustrate any article on the Web site. We all share our pieces of knowledge, edit them, distill them, and assemble them into a pleasing and cohesive whole. The more people that use the Edit This Page link, the better Wikitravel becomes. This has been added to Directory Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
