[Wiki Loves Monuments] Individual Engagement Grant for Updating the WLM Jury Tool

[Ynhockey]

I don't really want to make people hate me here, and mean absolutely no
offense to you personally, but for now I don't see the need for this grant
at all. Here are the reasons:

1) The tool works, but even if it didn't, we have the older tool which I
developed (aside from bugs, most of which have been fixed, I received no
complaints about it, and it was used successfully by national teams as well
as the international team). At the same time, Ilya just said he was
developing his own tool.
2) Even if we needed three tools, the other two are being developed for
free by volunteers. Our movement has a thing against paying someone for
something that others are willingly doing for free/
3) You seem to be a great developer, and we have a bunch of tools that do
need to be written / maintained! If you could delve into those, I would
definitely support your grant. For instance, a simple statistical tool for
how much each monument was photographed, etc. Platonides, Emilio and others
developed such tools, but they are not always maintained, and these
developers are not currently part of the international team (if you guys
are reading this, we want you back :) ).
