Hello all, I just join the mailing list, so maybe I have miss a point  :-D

"Give me all the monuments within 10km of my home which don't
have a photo yet." 

This tools already exist for FR and EN

Give me all the monuments within 10km of my home which don't
have a photo yet.
I was precisely working on that :). Let's better not duplicate work; and divide work. I can program in Python. But my program only works for Catalan monuments, since I have my own way of accessing them. It's not easy to export. IMHO, we should create a database (for example, in a XML way) common to all countries with WLM. Everyone could therefore develop their own tools and could be used anywhere. Shall we work on that? Maybe KML files would work... I don't know.

Joan Creus.

Looks good!

At the Dutch Wikipedia we maintain quite extensive progress statistics.
Next step would be to put these stats in a graph.

The monuments_pt_(pt) table contains all the fields. Some drop off in
the monuments_all table. I think I will just add more fields to the
monuments_all table to handle extended descriptions and classifications.

The monuments database resides on the shared account "erfgoed" (heritage
in Dutch) at the Toolserver. We can easily give more people access so we
can use it as a shared development place.

That's no problem at all. The input side is python. You probably want to
work on the output side. Php is more suitable for that anyway :-)
