I've improved the GPX export, and now it looks like this:

hey @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE - thanks for replying!

Hey @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE - you very kindly reviewed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T216601 in July last year. I've now added the 2 missing geo formats (KML & GPX) and wanted to flag this to you in case you are still the right person to review these additions, or might know who would be. This is the only code I've contributed to the Wikimedia project, so if there is a process to follow to get these tickets reviewed, please don't hesitate to let me know or point me to any docs I should follow.

FYI here are the KML and GPX exports from this query:

After some reflection, I decided RDF was a better format than Apache properties, so I switched GPX to use RDF for the extra data. I'm also using the first column in the query as the node's "name" in both formats.

I've been looking into the options for encoding arbitrary key-value pairs into XML (both GPX and KML are XML formats). I think XHTML definition lists (aka http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml or dl, dt and dd nodes) would work for KML as it's more visually led and apache properties (aka http://apache.org/xml/properties or entry node, with key as property and the value as the node content) would work for GPX as it feels more machine read.

Now that GeoJSON is added, my thoughts turn to KML and GPX files.

hey all - just to clarify, I've added GeoJSON for the first PR/MR, but I'm very happy to add KML / GPX and any/all other formats, but I wanted to keep the first version simple.

I've created the fork, pushed the code to it and opened a merge request. I hope I've followed @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE's guidance properly, but this is my first time working on anything Wikipedia-related, so I'm open to any and all feedback/things I can improve.

Quick update: I've got a version of the code running locally that exports as GeoJSON. My next steps, in the following days, are to tidy the code up and follow the steps that @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE kindly outlined to get it reviewed.

Anyway, you account should be activated now. Happy GitLabbing!

Sorry for the confusion and my question earlier, I obviously didn't check thoroughly.

As far as I understand Gerrit is old and it's now moved to Gitlab - I believe it's this repo - https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/wmde/wikidata-query-gui - but I am new to the Wikipedia dev world, so I could be mistaken.

@tauraamui I am planning to work on this on/after June 8th, as some other things have my attention until then, so if you have time now and want to get involved, then please go for it. :-)
