Delphine and Ariel have already showed the approach to follow.
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs/Toolserver_features_wanted_in_Tool_Labs>
is indeed very lacking; it should be expanded and each item moved to
bugzilla. Tool Labs is currently not even on the radars, as far as I
understood; some schedule is needed from the WMF.
Given the tone of this thread, I also want to point out that WMDE
doesn't seem to have any fault to me here: it was the WMF's (sudden)
decision, a year or two ago, to "replace" (aka kill) the Toolserver
rather than helping it (after the one and only little grant in 2009) or
letting other chapters help it. It obviously doesn't make sense to
invest much on the Toolserver while the WMF is spending millions to
duplicate it.
Again, a document like the one Delphine requested would also help WMF
understand what's needed to make the transition less traumatic: they
need a clear plan and it's their responsibility to coordinate better
with the service the state to be replacing, including financial aid. The
Funds Dissemination Committee doesn't have any role about the part of
WMF's budget which includes Labs, but they'd supposedly do something
about such a problem if they want their work to mean anything IMHO.
