WLM US is creating an interactive map based on KML layers. I'd be happy to share the
code when it is done.

I am currently porting WikiShootMe to Labs:

Looks nice!
It fulfils #2, 3, and 5 of your list. 4 can be added rather
quickly.
I guess so. For 4 you could use intuition (translation tool was
ported from the Toolserver recently). I like the tool, but I don't
see a map.
As for #1, I believe it's easy. As it is, it shows all
articles without images around a given point. A small fork
could be limited to the monuments list.
Use the api. You can just append srwithoutimage=1 to the search
string and it will only return entries without an image. I'm also in
the process of setting up the monuments database on labs, than you
can just do direct database queries.
Will take a few days, as I only have evenings to work on this
(and all my other tools); Labs makes it easy to add interested
programmers, so if anyone wants to help...
Can you add my account? Where is the code? Is it in git? Do you have
a link? Time wise the same for me, work during the day and hack by
night ;-)

Cheers,
Magnus

Hi
everyone,
We still lack a very important tool for Wiki Loves Monuments
in September: A web based map to easily find monuments.
We have the backend containing all the information: The
monuments database has 750.000+ items with geo information
and this is accessible as kml [1]. We just need a web based
map interface to wrap around this and is easy to use.
Some initial requirements:
* Easy, probably only a filter to show monuments with or
without a photo
* Works in all participating countries
* Centers on a location useful for the user (ask browser?)
* Is available in multiple languages (translatewiki?)
* Works in standard browsers without any add ons
I've seen plenty of local tools over the years, but no tool
that could just be used be everyone. Who can help out here?
Maarten
