As I see, it's time for some news from Belarus.
== Lists ==
We are still stuck with the lists, about 80% of raw parsed tables processed
only, 20% left, and they all need to be checked again (I don't mention
geo-locating and existing images). I hope we'll have it all done by June.
Despite these tiny issues, it's a magic we have structured monument lists
per district prepared by the government themselves, with unique IDs and
mostly with addresses. :)
== Partners and sponsors ==
We are now partners with Belarusian Professional Photo Club Znyata (
http://znyata.by). They will help us to spread the word of WLM btw.
professional photographers and amateurs. They also have a lot of experience
in organizing photo contests of different levels.
The first sponsor we have found is a public campaign Budźma Biełarusami (
http://budzma.org). They have already prepared prize kits for national
contest winners. They will also help to distribute our press-releases much
more effeciently.
At the moment I'm in contact with the oldest Belarusian network providing
on-site printing services. If they agree, then we'll get another type of
prizes and, probabily, some contest-related printed materials for free or
at a discount.

Perhaps, it's all I wanted to report.
