We published a timeline. Some countries didn't stick to this timeline.
This might have affected the success of WLM in these countries. We're
going to do evaluations. Let's wait with drawing conclusions until then.

I partially agree with you. Here in Norway it has been a big
drawback that WLM didn't start until September, and also has been
almost invisible, at least in Norway :(. Starting earlier would
enable participants to photograph during their holidays, and also
even possibly inside monuments - many close in August when the
schools start again. Also, the weather is a part of the problem...
So, at least publishing lists earlier, and thus enabling ppl making
photos inside (where allowed) could be great.

Again, I will write my opinion and suggestions in more details in the
beginning October, not to start the discussion now, but I think for
most
countries (in particular, for the Netherlands) we will not be able
to beat
this year in terms of the number of pictures because the monuments
will be
over (in the Netherlands we are approaching now to the 60% mark, and
by
next September I hope it will be more like 75%, without anything
left in
the centers of big cities). I am not even sure that the Netherlands
will
repeat the last year mark in terms of the number of pictures this
year. My
vision is that we we should go to different dimensions, the most
obvious
being article creation, and differentiate the countries - at least
those
with the most monuments pictured from those which are only at the
beginning. I think it is pretty much obvious we can not expand
forever.
Cheers
Yaroslav
