Talk:Landmark Wish List

It might make better sense in the future to break down the landmark wish list by region or scenery tile and then to individual cities. It would be very easy for the current wishlist to become huge, since there are mega-cities such as New York, London, Chicago, L.A., Paris, Tokyo, etc. which have many prominent landmarks. Currently a lot of those cities are very "naked" in FlightGear, and the list of requests can stack up very fast if more volunteers step up to work on it. (Such as I have done now, simply by naming a few Chicago landmarks alone.)

I'd suggest something such as: Continent/Region (Africa, Australia & South Pacific Is., Asia, Europe, North America, South America) Then by country (+ providence/state/territory/etc.) Then each state would link to a list of cities. The link for the city would then contain the landmark name, location (in lat & lon if known.), and project status.

I think the continents & countries could be listed on one page. If a country is large and contains multiple states/etc., then it would get a page of its states. If a country is smaller, the major cities could be listed directly on the country page. Then in each region, Mega-cities would get their own pages, but smaller city landmarks or other landmarks coulds be listed.

Of course there should be more weighing in on this, since developing a good system needs quite a bit of forethought.
