Awesome events! I love to see a blogpost about this. I will try to
add the Hesse lists this week. How are the lists coming along in
other parts of Germany?
I'm not sure, but there's a slow but steady progress. I'll try to get an overview until mid August, but I fear that there are many blank spots left. Hesse is as complete as it gets, for many areas not even the administration itself has usable lists (I visited them and they showed me some dot matrix printed lists from the 1980s that even they can't use as a tool to figure out which building is a monument).
While we have little problems converting pdfs and excel sheets we get, collecting the data in the first place is our biggest issue. Many organizations are hesitant to release their digital lists (even though it's publicized already) and we just don't have the capacities to talk to all of them personally.
I'll keep you updated.
