Logbook
The inspiration to this project came from the Wikipedia project and the marvellous book of Douglas Adams - the Hitchhiker's guide to galaxy. The idea is to use the open Wiki system to gather information the same way Wikipedia does to result to a guide similar to the imaginary Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is in the books of Adams: a guide that knows it all and is allways up to date.
Every hitchhiker is not only a user but also a possible contributor - a correspondent of the guide with the best possible first hand knowledge. This is not a work of a single mind, it's a work done by all the hitchhikers for the benefit of all the hitchhikers. Every visitor can add her / his knowledge and edit the existing pages to make them even better!
Under Constuction
The Hichhiker's guide is taking it's first baby steps, so the content is scarce and not too organized. It will get better, as more hitchhikers contribute. Feel free to start today!
How to contribute
Easiest way to contribute to the Guide at this point is to write an entry - point a good spot to hitchhike in yout home town or give a tip about something else you feel would be good for hitchhikers to know. To create a new entry, you need to create a link first. To do this as easy as possible, there is a page for new entries where you can just add your link.
