Well, we won't solve the legal issues soon, we are going to participate anyway (or at least organize it until they literally prohibits us to do it, this is why we are also gaining official support from institutions and associations, we need to fix the law :-)
So, while we figure out how many lists we have, we'll stay in touch for a common technical solution for the db. I'll forward this to out WLM list.
Thank you

I suggest you sort out some of the legal issues first, and once you decide you're going to participate (which I hope you will!), get in touch with us Germans. We're having the same trouble (and some other nations might too), so maybe we can have a page on Commons where we can discuss possible solutions and share what works and what doesn't. We'll be discussing this topic at the end of March in Dresden, where most of our organizing team meets for the first time and hopefully come up with some ideas there as well (I'll try to remember to keep you updated on what we come up with, otherwise just send me a short message at the beginning of April).
Once we decide on and test one or two solutions and find that they work properly, we can use those for all the small lists in every country doing WLM. Then it's also easier and more worthwhile to ask for additional features in the monuments database, we're probably going to need those if we don't want to have a few hundred tables for both Germany and Italy alone (as opposed to one for all the other nations).
Best regards,
Kilian
