[Wiki Loves Monuments] Idea for WLM app's afterlife

[Philip Chang]

Yes, and we are updating our DB from the toolserver DB. There seem to be
several issues, and Tomasz Finc or Arthur can summarize them.

In brief, we had to do things in a temporary way in order to meet the
deadline.

And there were reasons we used our DB instead of the one on toolserver, but
once the contest is over, the traffic will be a lot less.
