There’s a whole lot that’s cool about Wikitravel Press from business, community and licensing angles — follow links from our previous post about it.
Their new Paris title adds to the coolness by incorporating maps from OpenStreetMap, also under a CC Attribution-ShareAlike license.
Also, this is a good time to mention that anyone thinking of similarly building a business around collaboratively built content is strongly recommended to absorb Wikitravel and Wikitravel Press cofounder Evan Prodromou’s Commercialization of Wikis presentation.
