Hi everyone,
Bastien Guerry, member of Wikimedia France, just sent out an email about a tool he developped : http://www.panoramap.org/fr/#
The tool is pretty straightforward, it allows you to display country per country all the monuments in the world where we already have a picture on Commons.
It still needs developement, or so he says, but it's already quite impressive.
If you have any feedback, keep him in the loop (he's in cc of my email) or send him an email offlist. And if you want to help him improve the tool, the source code is available there : https://github.com/bzg/wlmmap
Felt that people here would like this kinda of things :)
Best,
-- Christophe
Wow this is beautiful!

Where (on the client, on the server) and how (replicated database, Mediawiki API calls) does it process data? Because it loads the monuments quite slow. As this is early version (Bump to 0.0.5.https://github.com/bzg/wlmmap/commit/ea1ab796fef2711a4311ca94ef996353cfe88dda) I hope it will improve though.
It is very good that it is opensource. Not very widespread, but interesting implementation language (Clojure), but it will be intreresting for me to grok it, as I happen to use, not very widespread, but interesting language too - Scala.

I updated the README with some info: https://github.com/bzg/wlmmap
The bottleneck is that loading 50000+ monuments would take very long... querying the database, transmitting the data to the .js then parsing these data to display clusters on the map... way too long. At least I don't know how to do this.
There is one chance: if someone knows ClojureScript and leaflet markercluster module, we may try to use addLayers instead of addLayer, but I did not manage to get this to work.
In any case: the display-monuments-from-a-country is more about serendipidipitidity (I never know how to write this word...) while displaying monuments "HERE" is about getting quick and accurate information about some place.
As this is early version (Bump to 0.0.5.) I hope it will improve though.
Hope so!

Hey hey, I guess the vast majority of us is part of some minority :)
