Thanks everyone for this. Just an idea depending on the time to "tie in"
with the Pretoria workshop which I know is train the trainers but could be
an optimization of resources etc....The timeline is advanced already and
will check my work/travel schedule to see how best I am able to contribute
but very excited about this....

such a database exists.

I like this. Some additional input:
Most monuments in South Africa are also registered as Heritage Sites by
the
South African Heritage Resources Agency
Photos and categories on Commons should add the following template,
{{South African Heritage Site|1=xxxx}} where is the SAHRA id for the
monument.
SAHRA maintains a searchable database at

Hey all,
After my chat with Lourie two weeks ago, I discussed a possible
WikiLovesMonuments with Lodewijk. He was one of the guys that organised
the
first edition in the Netherlands, and he really
helped me organising the
edition last year in Belgium. The competition will go global this year:
Europe, India, Chile, Canada, USA, Russia, Israel, Philippines, are sure
they will participate this list (full list of particating
countries<

2/Participating_countries>). And he was
looking forward to see South
Africa
join the competition!
More information on the competition is on Commons:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012 You
can
find a proposed organisational
timeline<
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012
/Timeline>that will help us with organising
the event.
Maybe we could meet to chat about the possibilities, and see if we can
find
enough persons that are interested? I had already
a first chat with
Lourie
two weeks ago. I propose a meeting, again in Cape
Town: see the DOODLE
