Hello,
the commons copy for enwiki needs more space and I have to move it.
I will do this
this Friday, 20th 7pm-10pm
the whole enwiki DB will be offline for most of the time.
Cheers

Hi all (and apologies for crossposting)
I'm hoping to write a special report for the Signpost [1] about the state
of Labs as we head into the post-Toolserver era (how people are finding it,
its future). I'd also like to write an "obituary" for the Toolserver.
All your thoughts, comments, and ideas are welcome via public and private
communication, though I can't promise to fit them all in! The reports, if
accepted for publication, would air at some point over the next month.
As you may be aware, I've been both a Toolserver and Labs developer, so
I've an idea of what people will want to say, but do try to surprise me :)
Best,
Harry

Hi everyone,
The monuments database is a database serving the cultural heritage
community and more specific the Wiki Loves Monuments project. The
database contains machine-readable data on different objects of cultural
heritage value from countries participating in Wiki Loves Monuments. The
monument database contains over 1,2 million listings in over 45
countries in over 25 different languages. It also tracks over 1 million
images of cultural heritage objects on Commons. More info on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database
The database moved from Toolserver to Toollabs and is accessible at
http://tools.wmflabs.org/heritage/api/api.php . For the people who
access the database (p_erfgoed_p) on the Toolserver: I plan to drop this
database next weekend. You can access the database in Toollabs at
s51138__heritage_p on the server tools-db.

Hi all,
you are invited you to join our IRC office hour on migrating from the
Toolserver to Tool Labs. If you have questions take this opportunity to
ask before Toolserver shutdown! If you can't attend, you can, as always,
send me your questions beforehand.
See you tomorrow!

Hi everyone,
please spread this reminder!
About one year ago, we, Wikimedia Deutschland e. V., announced June 30th
as the deadline of the Toolserver migration (Roadmap at [1]). This
deadline is approaching. The Toolserver will stop working on June 30th.
What will happen afterwards?
Background information
The Toolserver is a community based infrastructure that hosts software
supporting Wikipedia and its sister projects. Over the years many active
volunteers have developed helpful and great software tools that are
running on several Wikimedia projects.
The Toolserver is operated by Wikimedia Deutschland with assistance from
the Wikimedia Foundation and several chapters. For many reasons, the
Toolserver will be discontinued and replaced by Tool Labs [2], a
platform operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Please see the reasons at
[3]. For more than one year Wikimedia Deutschland has been coordinating
the migration of software tools from Toolserver to Tool Labs.
What editors should know
The toolserver is a community-driven project. The tools shall be
migrated by the developers resp. maintainers themselves. Many of them
have already migrated their tools or have indicated that they will do so
before the end of this month. We have a special agreement with the
OpenStreetMap projects and with the developer of Merlbot [4] to ensure
these tools don’t stop working. All other tools will stop working by
July 1st.
What editors can do
On Tool Labs [2], you can look up if the tools that you use and need
have already moved there.
Talk to the developers of your favourite tools: It is important to let
them know how much you appreciate their tools and that you need them to
do your work.
Contact us if you don’t know who these developers are or if you have any
questions or if you want us to forward wishes or requests to tool
developers. Contact information is given at the end of this text.
Information for tool developers
If you are still facing the migration of your tools, please keep in mind
that lots of people use your tools. They are a great support for their
daily work and will be missed when they fail. Please take the time to
migrate them or poke us: WMDE can still support you during migration -
what we can’t do is maintain abandoned tools in the long run.
>From July 1st on, the toolserver admins will still hand you over your
backups upon request and create redirects to Tool Labs for you. You
won’t be able to log in to the toolserver anymore though.
If anyone wants to have and reuse other people’s code, we recommend to
seek approval from them directly, even if from a legal point of view
there is no problem. Don’t hesitate to talk to us if you need a contact
person.

Could someone please put the new certificate on
https://fisheye.toolserver.org too? It still uses the old (expired)
certificate for *.toolserver.org
Thank you,
Maarten
