We will continue to support the Wikimedia Toolserver, which is operated by Wikimedia Deutschland, throughout this financial period. The Toolserver is widely used by the Wikimedia community to enable automated editing, statistics and other tools to keep Wikipedia running smoothly. This support will be provided via a grant to Wikimedia Deutschland.
The Wikimedia Foundation is currently establishing the Wikimedia Labs (WL), which will incorporate the role of the current Toolserver. However, the WL currently do not have the technical capacity to host the projects that are currently operating on the Toolserver. As such, this grant helps ensure that the facilities provided by the Toolserver will continue throughout this WMUK financial year.
We will ensure that our two contract developers pay due attention to the work carried out by the Toolserver project.
