In 2006, Wikitravel launched a free media repository known as Wikitravel Shared, and in 2007 received a [[Webby Award]] for Best Travel Website.<ref name="coyle" /> The same year, Wikitravel's founders began '''Wikitravel Press''', a now-defunct project that published printed travel guides based on the website's content.<ref name="doctorow" /> The first print guides were released on February 1, 2008.
