Just adding to the discussion based on SJ's suggestion: If 'any WLM-loving developer(s)outside of the staff submit a short-term grant proposal to update/maintain the old WLM app', would they also please consider adding a "Take a WLM walk!" function to the app that links monuments-with-no-photo to Google walking directions? This would be great to have for "Wiki Takes xxx" meetups during September. The functionality could be based off of the app C:Geo, which is open source.

I believe he meant "collect the ideas of the mobile team" here in this thread, to share with the WLM list.
That said, I'm quite suprised to see how low on the Foundation's list of priorities supporting Wiki Loves Monuments lies.
It sounds to me like a scheduling mismatch between competing priorities, rather than non-prioritization. (solely my perception as an interested community member; as far as I know the Foundation is pretty darn proud of WLM.)
Are there any WLM-loving developers outside of the staff who might submit a short-term grant proposal to update/maintain the old WLM app this year?
