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
