I have been recently (today!) working on the API explained at the tools page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Tools). I hope to have it ready soon. I'm trying to make it as exportable as possible, with many formats: HTML, XML, KML, JSON... That way we won't reinvent the wheel and tooling would be international. The applications for WLM CH and WLM FR or whatever could be shared, thus making it more effective.
Plus, as said before, it could be great if a framework to show the list could be done and be common to all websites. Maybe exporting to a specific HTML and then applying some JavaScript magic?

Maarten,
Very sincerily, I don't see it like a pissing contest, but rather an effort of those, to which this is the first time (at least WMPT is), to have something in place as sooner as possible. I suggest we assume good faith from everybody...
I actually find Manoillon a very good start, as I still didn't see any "bundle".
In the end, the longest part is to develop the logic, not to merge the code where-ever. This means there should be a place to test (the logic) before. However, I'd say the DB schema would ease merging the code a lot, so I'd suggest we all start from it, even if we have to extend it..
It would be nice if there was a compilation of all the tools available already, which are being done or fixed, and maybe who's doing what...?

Hi everyone,

Do we try to make a global and unified system like Manoillon's one, or each country have to made his own ?
Maybe we have decided of it earlier, but I don't manage to remember...
I rather have a central place to work on this than every chapter inventing the wheel over and over again. There's already a dedicated account for this at the toolserver: "erfgoed" (Dutch for heritage). Please join this project so we can work together. I wouldn't like to have this turn into some sort of pissing contest. More info at

I can, of course, but please give me some more days. Right now, the code is half French, half ugly.. I need a bit of time to clean it before sharing !
Just share it. Code is always ugly and everyone always wants to clean it up ;-)
