Hi,
I already began some work in a feature I believe it would be interesting, a
kind of a trip planner. For those not in the chat, it's a web tool in which
"points" can be added. i.e., if you are travelling to Barcelona, add all
monuments near the hotel where you are staying. But say that then you're
going to Tarragona, so add the monuments in that city. And so on.
The tool then generates HTML/PDF output ready to print. It could be brought
during the trips and make it easier to photograph the maximum number of
monuments. A kind of high level interface to the API.
By the way, if the API is hosted on wikilovesmonuments.eu, will you just
change the nameservers and make it point to the Toolserver API or will the
whole database be moved there?
Joan.

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!
Maarten
