Hi everyone,
Development of the tooling is happening again. List of things I noticed:
* We now keep track of the wiki articles. This is either directly in a
list or derived (thanks Raul)
* We now keep track of an url with more information about a monument.
This is based on the identifier in the list (thanks Raul).
* The header template in a list can now be used for setting default
values for the row template. For example you just set {{header
template|municipality=hometown}}. For all the following rows you don't
have to include the municipality. Requested by Alex, implemented today
by me.
* I added support for gpx as an output format of the api. Still in need
of some fixes, but Google already understands it. Some feedback would be
nice. Example:
http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=search&format=gpx&srmunic…
* The OpenStreetMap based map for WikiLovesMonuments is now available at
http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/map/ . I made it available yesterday. It
still needs improvements (like not always starting in Amsterdam).
* I altered the OSM map to understand most api parameters. For example
all the monuments in Haarlem without an image:
http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/map/?srwithoutimage=1&zoom=16&lat=52.38096&l…
* I added the "osm" output format to the api. This will just redirect
you to the osm without your search options. For example all monuments in
Amsterdam on the Prinsengracht without a photo:
toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php?action=search&format=osm&srmunicipality…
Some things I would like:
* Further improvements of the map. For example a search option like at
http://toolserver.org/~multichill/coordinates.php
* Tracking of images tagged with a monuments template at Commons
(https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_wit…)
and making this available through the api.
I'm thinking about creating a table monument_templates with the fields:
lang, country and template. This would be a really small table based on
https://fisheye.toolserver.org/browse/erfgoed/erfgoedbot/monuments_config.p…
with (lang, country) as primary key.
The second table would be monument_images with the fields: template, id,
image. This would be a much bigger table containing all the images
tagged with a tracker template. Not really sure what keys to set here
for performance. Any thoughts?
In the api you should be able to request images based on country, lang
and identifier. For example (nl, nl, 2390) should return
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Keizersgracht_609,_Amsterdam.JPG
(and maybe more images).
* The api should be able to return the formats, countries, props, etc,
to automatically fill http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/toolbox/ with the
right fields.
* Toolbox should be improved.
* Internationalization should be improved.
* We should probably set up http://map.wikilovesmonuments.org and
http://api.wikilovesmonuments.org
Anymore suggestions? Who wants to help? Docmeister, where to store this
onwiki? ;-)

Hi Alex,
CCing the Wiki Loves Monuments list. Maybe someone feels like helping out.

We would somehow need to download all the csv files and put them in a
big table at the toolserver. It's probably not too hard to have a
program take the html page and look for all url's containing csv file.
For each file download it and insert it in a database at the toolserver.
Once we have this database we can compare it to the information we
already have about Switzerland and match items.
This is how I did it with the National Register of Historic Places. This
information is in the p_erfgoed_nrhp_p database at the toolserver
(server: sql). I wrote
https://fisheye.toolserver.org/browse/multichill/bot/erfgoed/NRHP_refnums.p…
for that. Could probably be adapted to work for Switzerland too.

Dear all,
here is a short video I made about Commons, WLM, and ideas on how
to reuse this content -- the purpose is to deliver some information
on Commons and WLM quickly, while suggesting local entities to reuse
this content for their own purpose.
The video with no subtitles (french):
http://www.lemuseelibre.com/wikilovesmonuments.html
With subtitles (french, english):
http://www.universalsubtitles.org/fr/videos/xnGpy1BeWK7m/info/
(If you want to add subtitles in your own language, please do!)
The video reuse nice infographics from "The State of Wikipedia"

Dear colleagues,
Such a question. Ho to manage with monuments that are gathered in a
complex? For example in this
page<http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%96%D0%BA_%D0…>we
have 17 monuments numbered as " 285/1", "285/2" and so on. All of
them
are part of Bakhchisaray Palace. So the question is next - should we
operate with these object separate items (separate ID's) or we should
regard them as a one item (and common ID)?

Hi,
I would like to share some photos taken during the Philippines' kick off
event of Wiki Loves Monument. I still have to come up with an official
release, but I thought you can already be privy to what took place, despite
an unexpected summer downpour 60 people managed to come plus our invited
guests the Executive Director of the National Parks Development Committee,
Vice President of the Heritage Conservation Society and Deputy Director of
Creative Commons Philippines (we needed him to explain what free license is
about).
These photos<https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.319832731404549&type=1>
(posted
here with permission) we're taken by one of the attendees who is a member
of the 7,000-member strong "Bawal Mag-shoot dito" (It's prohibited to shoot
here), in protest of some government agencies' policies prohibiting
photography in public places where heritage sites are without paying a fee
of around $50, for Wiki Loves Monument we got them to waive these fees.

Hi everybody,
I'm Patricio Molina (a.k.a. [[User:Mahadeva]]), Deputy Treasurer of
Wikimedia Argentina. It's a pleasure being part of this list.
In order to finish my studies in Systems Analysis, I have to make a
proyect using the RUP framework[0] or Agile[1], and with my fellow
group members we were thinking about doing something useful for the
Wikimedia movement. We have 14~16 weeks/iterations to complete at
least the first two phases ("Inception" and "Elaboration"), producing
all the documentation needed for its construction and deployment. All
the documentation will be published under a Creative Commons license
By-SA.
Because I'm particularly interested in WLM, we want to know if there's
something we can do related to this activity. Of course, this should
be related to software development (i.e.: tools for metadata, events
and volunteer organization, etcetera). Do you have something in mind?
Best,
Patricio

Hi, currently when people subscribe to this list
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments says " This
is the mailing list for coordination between the people, groups, and
chapters organizing the Wiki Loves Monuments -
Europe<http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu/> event
scheduled for September 2011". May I suggest that this be changed to
something like " This is the mailing list for coordination between the
people, groups, and chapters organizing the annual Wiki Loves
Monuments<http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu/> event
that takes place each September." The link might need changing as well.

Hola,
I know - too many abbreviations! Considering the Wiki Loves Monuments
interest Open StreetMap, I was wondering if anyone involved in this is
going to the State of the Map conference in Tokyo this September. It is
basically their Wikimania and would be a nice outreach. It would be too
late to get anything done, but if we get a nice implementation going, might
be worth it in the long run.
