Hi all!
As you might know, Merl's bot framework Merlbot is one of the last few
projects left on the Toolserver. Merl put a lot of work into
modifications and rewriting code to be able to run it in Tool Labs. He
is running out of time as database replication will stop on Oct 5th.
Any volunteers to support him in finishing before that deadline?
What you could do is work on a part of Merlbot called Death Anomalies
Table [1]. It generates daily "probably dead" reports in 15 Wikipedias
to point to articles about people marked dead in a different language.
The code of the death anomalies table [1] consists of nine bash
scripts in which SQL queries have to be adapted for Tool Labs.
If you are prepared to dive into SQL, please contact Merl [2] as soon
as possible.
Cheers, Silke

Hi all!
I had announced that August 31st would be the deadline for retrieving
backups from the toolserver. As you were right in telling me, hey,
that's in the middle of everybody's vacation, the stuff is still
there. But:
Come and get your backups before the end of September!
Once the toolserver is physically decommissioned, the data will be
deleted! Gone. Forever.
And as stated before:
If you are interested in migrating, maintaining, resurrecting someone
else's tools, please contact that person and ask first!
If you are contacted by others for you own code, I strongly encourage
you to *free the knowledge* and let them work on it.
(Yes, sometimes old work looks embarrassing nowadays, but it can
always help others to figure things out, to get ideas, to improve
tools. So for the "greater good"[TM] please free it.)
Thanks and cheers,
Silke
