Hi Alex, in the case of Kenya (I assume that is why you ask), the bottle neck currently lies in adding Kenya to the database. We need someone a bit more technical to do that. Unfortunately this hasn't happened yet. Once that happened, it'll be a few days before it comes to the app. However, that will be of little use if there are no coordinates in the list. If you want monuments to show up properly, you should add geo-coordinates to the list. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/13 Alex Wafula <xelawafs(a)gmail.com>

Hi all, How can I proceed to add some more monuments on the WLMm android apo.

Completely agree! The app should pick up any added campaigns and monuments that are added to the system automatically. The only problem comes if you need translations. These would need a new release of the app. I can imagine the wiki loves monuments app being a fun app to use outside the competition period so please do add Slovakia :) On Sep 13, 2012 8:39 AM, "Wanjau" <wanjaustev(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I have started adding some coordinates to the list on Wikipedia and I hope to add more soon. I read a post somewhere (not sure whether it was on this list) that the WLM app could be useful to tourists/visitors as well by using the nearby feature. IMO,the coordinates shall be very useful in that regard in the long run. //Stephen On 09/13/2012 06:18 PM, Lodewijk wrote: Hi Alex, in the case of Kenya (I assume that is why you ask), the bottle neck currently lies in adding Kenya to the database.

Jon, the app won't work past Oct. because Tomasz doesn't want to keep the DB functional. We are trying to think of a way to keep the momentum going.

We'll see! ;-)
