Give me all the monuments within 10km of my home which don't have a photo yet.
I was precisely working on that :). Let's better not duplicate work; and divide work. I can program in Python. But my program only works for Catalan monuments, since I have my own way of accessing them. It's not easy to export. IMHO, we should create a database (for example, in a XML way) common to all countries with WLM. Everyone could therefore develop their own tools and could be used anywhere. Shall we work on that? Maybe KML files would work... I don't know.

Maarten,
That was my point: establishing a common interface, instead of each going its own way. I was building a tool like that, at http://wlm.wikimedia.pt/tools/plist http://wlm.wikimedia.pt/monumentos.php
(I think it's pretty straightforward playing around with the simple filter box (caixa de filtros), but would help if you know portuguese, though).
Looks good!
Based on our ETL, I've already detected some errors on the structured lists introduced by the bot conversion, which I hope I can fixed them in time, so everyone can get clean (and complete) lists.
Btw, these lists are pretty old, and we're now updating it with official lists in a versioned warehousing fashion. I was playing last nights around (partial) dynamic statistics: http://wlm.wikimedia.pt/tools/plist/stats.php
(You can easily see that there are more than 14 objects with images).
I'm also trying to add more internal information:
- I want to show progress graphs, I'm sure they'll motivate our
partners;
At the Dutch Wikipedia we maintain quite extensive progress statistics. Next step would be to put these stats in a graph.
- How many of these have already articles - done;
- How many of these (that have article) have already images - half-done,
I want to cross information from Commons, which we'll give far more realistic results.
- We have different status/degrees of classification, I think that
should be kept.
The monuments_pt_(pt) table contains all the fields. Some drop off in the monuments_all table. I think I will just add more fields to the monuments_all table to handle extended descriptions and classifications.
- We have multiple sources, so we have multiple source ids, which should
be kept for update in the future.
- I want our system to allow easily corrections: mainly coordinates.
I'm not sure if both databases need to co-exist (yours being an exported version of our own), as I'd like to have more detail than the monuments_pt_(pt) table.
The monuments database resides on the shared account "erfgoed" (heritage in Dutch) at the Toolserver. We can easily give more people access so we can use it as a shared development place.
Thanks for the tools information. Unfortuneately, I don't do python.
That's no problem at all. The input side is python. You probably want to work on the output side. Php is more suitable for that anyway :-)
