Monuments api
by Maarten Dammers 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Hi guys, I haven't looked at the monuments api [1] that closely for a while so I was pleasantly surprised when I took a good look at it yesterday and noticed a lot of things were already implemented :-) I want to do some follow ups after the May meeting [2]. I'm sending this directly because I'm not sure all of you are keeping a close eye on the Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list. What features still need to be added and how do we make it easy for everyone to make use of this api? I have some things: * DynamicKML seems to work. Bit rough, but seems to be working in Google Maps [3] and Earth - Tim, can you try to get dynamickml [4] working in OpenStreetMap? - Platonides, would it be possible to implement a sort by random? That prevents clusters * Raul implemented Layar [5]. Is this part of the api or on it's own Raul? Can you maybe tell a bit more about this? * I believe JSON(P) still needs to be implemented. That makes reuse easier. Anyone? * Joan has been working on HTML lists [6]. This might turn into an easy tool to make lists of monuments you want to take a photo of. Keep us posted Joan! * api.wikilovesmonuments.eu seems to be a good domain to host this api from. I'll see if I can get this setup at the toolserver * gpx and poi also need to be implemented. Anyone? (please add more points) The goal of the api should be to provide a easy but powerful tool that all countries can use. We're going in the right direction now. Keep up the good work!

update per country
by Lodewijk 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi all, I'm trying to summarize here the status for all the country updates. I would like to ask you all to correct whenever something is wrong. Please read it carefully! Suggestions to each other might be helpful. Sometimes I ask specifically for updates - especially when I think that sharing information might be helpful. It would be great if you could really do so on this list, so that others can use it too. Best, lodewijk ================================ Participating countries definitely: Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Spain, France, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania Participating countries maybe/probably: Andorra, Belarus, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Russia, Sweden Countries unknown/maybe: Italy, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Slovenia Relevant links: Database: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Monumen… Progress table (please fill in - it is expanded): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Progress ================================ *Andorra*: Amical said they would be willing to organize WLM in Andorra. I have since then not heard anything any more, and cannot find information online. Update would be welcome. Monuments available in European WLM database. ( wikilovesmonuments.ad registered/used?) *Belarus*: Joined in late, but are working hard on the lists. Some 22% done, more to come. Nothing yet in the database. Working on trademark agreement (temp) with WMF to do the contest. *Belgium*: There is some interest. The Dutch Wikipedians have created the lists already, work is being done to transfer the Walloon lists to frwiki. Main bottle neck is real life organization part. Real life meeting begin July. *Switzerland *(CH): Website is up, but needs still adaptation to some best practices/agreements from Berlin. Lists are there and imported. Partners OK it seems, things seem to run fine! *Denmark*: Lists are available, with relevant data. Not yet available in the European Database. Unclear status for partners, awards and jury. *Germany*: Lists is still biggest bottle neck, together with motivated volunteers throughout the country. No data yet in database. Jury, awards etc will work out. Seperate update email would be very very welcome! *Estonia*: Lists are available, also in European database. Have some partners, have set up website. How is jury, awards etc working out? *Spain*: Both Amical and Wikimedia España are working on organizing this event in Spain together. The status of the lists seems to depend on the region. More detailed update would be very welcome! *Finland*: Maarten is trying hard to put them into touch with the correct government. Hopefully more info soon. *France*: Working on getting the lists on the wiki, data is available in European database. Further status currently unknown. Update very welcome! *Liechtenstein*: Only some 175 monuments, so should be doable for CH/AT to help out. Unclear if this is actually happening or not. No locals known? WMCH might be able to help, but no reaction yet to request. *Luxemburg:* Lists are available onwiki and in the european database. Bottle neck is volunteers - none are known to be active on this. Any contacts/help would be welcome. *Netherlands*: Lists complete (& in Eur.db.) , National Heritage board is very cooperative. over 400.000 images released on 800px scale, but cannot be processed until after WLM. Heemschut supports a lot, and freelancer is helping with the press side. Have found some potential awards, working now on jury. *Norway:* Started late, but working hard to make up for it. Are in touch with heritage board to get the lists, after that they will be able to move fast because of existing contacts with partners/sponsors. More news coming up soon. *Austria*: No page <http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments…>yet on commons! Lists still under construction (?) similar situation with federative problems as in Germany. Unclear if help with contacts would be appreciated. Update very welcome, situation mainly unknown. *Poland*: Lists are available, also in the database. Working hard on partners & sponsors and seem to do well. Looking forward! *Portugal*: Lists complete (only continental?), also in database; addresses still missing. Partners and sponsors going well. Seems everything on schedule? *Romania*: Joined in late, status mainly unknown. Structure for the lists has been set up, but currently not filled in yet. Have cooperation with local open source association/community, and temp trademark agreement WMF underway. *Russia*: Are joining in just now, and I will leave it to them to introduce themselves here with their status. *Sweden*: Currently unclear what the status is - unable to find much online. Update would be very welcome!

Wiki Loves Monuments and video
by Maarten Dammers 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi everyone, Would it be nice to have a special price for video's made for Wiki Loves Monuments? We don't have an awful lot of user made video's and this might be a fun way to promote it. Maarten Ps. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_loves_monuments.ogg is a nice first step :-)

About wikilovesmonuments.eu, Partners section
by Nuno Tavares 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hey all, I wonder what everybody think about listing each country' partners in the European "partner" section? Special care should be taken to highlight European-level partners, of course, but that could give more visibility to each local partner and, consequently, motivate them to partner with us. What do you think? -- Nuno Tavares Wikimedia Portugal http://www.wikimedia.pt Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.

sony sponsoring?
by charles andrès 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

I am thinking to contact Sony Switzerland for sponsoring opportunities, ideally I could talk about the european aspect of the contest and trying to discuss a global sponsoring! But for that I need to be sure that none of us is talking with another brand, we are all ok if we have a Camera brand as sponsor? I see in the minutes of Berlin that Nicole should try to see with Zeiss, as it is a part of Sony, there is no conflict, but we could try to have a common line of discussions with sponsors. Sincerely sony sponsoring guidelines in deutsch http://www.sony.ch/lang/de/article/id/1069862800297 in french http://www.sony.ch/lang/fr/article/id/1073396360933 ___________________________________________________________ Charles ANDRES, Membre du Comité Wikimedia CH - Association pour l'avancement des connaissances libres Skype: charles.andres.wmch IRC://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-ch

by Ziko van Dijk 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hello, Sorry if this news has already been posted here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_Mittelhessen Kilian had reported about the idea itself, I believe, and he is the contact person. WMDE has granted 8000 EUR to a project to take photos in Central Hesse, a German region. People are invited to come and get their travel expenses back. Kind regards Ziko -- Ziko van Dijk The Netherlands http://zikoblog.wordpress.com/

wikilovesmonuments.eu, the map
by Nuno Tavares 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hey again, I really liked the map we had at the former .EU site, and it seems we lost it in the transition to the blog platform. I've been experimenting (call it a revival) with the good-old image maps, and I found a cool solution. http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/testmap.php (only Portugal and Spain work) What do you think of including it somewhere? == Instructions to get your map listed == I'd propose to you to use this tool: http://www.image-maps.com/ Load this image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/Participating_coun… And follow the instructions to plot your country. Then, click the option to generate the map and send me only the HTML code <shape> so I can merge it. -NT -- Nuno Tavares Wikimedia Portugal http://www.wikimedia.pt Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.

T-Shirts
by Nicole Ebber 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Hi all, Tomasz and I have found several companies who could print our t-shirts at reasonable prices (5,50 Euro per Shirt). My suggestion is to have black shirts with the wlm logo and url (wikilovesmonuments.eu) on the front and the wikipedia logo on the back (very small, right under the neck). I would use the same shirt for all countries, without any specific dates and locations. What do you think? My questions: * What are we planning to use the shirts for? Suggestions: ** as Prices ** for the "organisers" of local events ** for the attendees of local events ** shall we also offer the shirts on our websites for free orders or even sell them there? * How many shirts (and which sizes (m/w) would YOUR country need? Would be best to order them altogether, that makes the prices cheaper. * Where can we discuss and document this (mailinglist is not very convenient)? Google sheet?

Wiki Loves Monuments in Belgium and Luxemburg
by Romaine Wiki 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hello all, At the moment users from nl-wiki and fr-wiki are working together to organize Wiki Loves Monuments in Belgium. As Belgium itself has no chapter at the moment, we have asked Wikimedia France and Wikimedia Netherlands to help us out with the prices for the competition. Today we noticed that Luxemburg is still missing on the map of countries who participate in joining Wiki Loves Monuments. The impression we got is that users from lb-wiki are interested, but as they have no chapter as well and as they are with little people, they do not think they can organize their own competition themselves. However, they do have all the monument-lists in Luxemburg already on lb-wiki. So we suggested today that Wiki Loves Monuments Belgium will cover the country Luxembourg as well so that the hole in the map can be filled in. That will give a combined competition in Belgium and Luxemburg together. Wiki Loves Monuments Belgium will also cover the German-speaking parts of Belgium. If there are people wanting to help us with our competition, please let us know, help is much appreciated! Thanks! Greetings - Romaine
