As you can imagine, the Italian WLM is facing the issue of compiling/sincronizing lists of documents.
We have: * one official list of the Ministry, which is NOT open data, and we will ask permission for that (legal team) * one list (ca. 30'000 monuments) taken from Open Street Map * several smaller lists scattered around
We are taliking with one memeber of OSM community, and he showed us that awesome site. You can fill in a form and the monument is settled on the map, and in the OSM database. It seems it would be a scalable system to have a collaborative improvement of databases... Or do you think it is a bad idea?
It would have the (amazing) side effect of increasing the bond between WM and PSM community too.

Does anyone know the folks behind Wheelmap? http://wheelmap.org/
The technology seems pretty interesting, and it would be very cool to use it for compiling lists of monuments. The software is not open source, but it seems they are willing to release it sometime, and we, as WLM, could nudge them :-)
They seem to be in Berlin. Maybe we could ask the German chapter to nudge? or we could take a field trip to their office at the end of this month. ;)
