Hi together,
I'm having an account on Toolserver to develop new ideas for OSM and how
to make it useful for wikipedia.
With the announced end-of-life of toolserver I wanted to see how to
migrate to labs.
I found it quite disappointing. Not much information regarding OSM on
labs at all.
Is Wikimedia discontinuing support for OSM and ending the collaboration?
I found only few documents regarding OSM.
OSM probably unsupported:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58797
Tileserver not created for two years...
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33980
Maybe only move 5 tools to Labs (comment Silke)
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs/Toolserver_features_needed_in…
So the question is: Will there be support for people developing new
ideas? Will we have access to a development machine having a database
replication? Development on a production tileserver is a bad idea, but
no one talked about a dev server.
Is this the end of OSM for Wikimedia?
I'm going to renew my toolserver account and enjoy the last 6 months
until the lights go off...
