I am a bit confused, as the WLM app can be used all year, can&#39;t it? Obviously the application is needed for all the &quot;gray monuments&quot; with no picture yet, but it should also be used also for the insides of buildings when we only have the outside, and vice versa.<div>
<br></div><div>It would be great to extend the app, but just get rid of all the contest information, and allow the user to *first* browse the photos already on commons for those monuments (assuming the monument has more pics with monument ids). If a monument already has tons of good photos (like the Eiffel tower), maybe the user will pass on that one, but become interested in another less popular monument near by,<br>

Yes, and we are updating our DB from the toolserver DB. There seem to be several issues, and Tomasz Finc or Arthur can summarize them.<div><br></div><div>In brief, we had to do things in a temporary way in order to meet the deadline.</div>

<div><br></div><div>And there were reasons we used our DB instead of the one on toolserver, but once the contest is over, the traffic will be a lot less.</div><div><br></div><div>Phil</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi Philip,<div><br></div><div>Maybe I&#39;m wrong here, but as far as I&#39;m aware, the current monument database is actually being scraped each night from the wikipedia lists. So basically it is a mirror of the lists with a lag up to 24 hours (if toolserver works etc). But maybe we&#39;re talking about different databases? Probably it would be easiest to just use one way or another the Monument Database we&#39;re running, rather than reinventing the wheel. </div>

<div>Back to Lodewijk&#39;s idea of articles and monuments, we unfortunately have an issue with monuments, simply because the database is not maintainable. However, I have wondered about accessing monuments through the Wikipedia pages that list them.</div>
