Hi Patricio, What a generous offer and I am surprised no one has responded yet! One thing that would be great to have for a "Wiki takes your city" is some way of easily generating a walking tour from a monuments list (assuming that the list is filled with geo-data, which they are in the Netherlands). This would be great to have for the various WLM projects, but it would also be useful for people interested in monuments wherever they are, since the monuments lists generally include some summary information and in the case of the more important monuments, links to full-fledged Wikipedia articles.
I suppose if you successfully make something that is robust enough, it could be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles about architects, or maybe even about public transport lines.

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
