This is a great step towards making sure that the toolserver stays useful at all times.
Cheers,

Wikimedia Deutschland contracted River Tarnell to look after the
Toolserver,
starting February 1. As you probably know, River has been an integral
part of
the Toolserver team from the very beginning, and has done a great job as
a
volunteer. However, when doing system administration in your spare time,
the
more annoying jobs tend to be left – which may lead to unpleasantness or
even
downtime every now and then. A fixed number of hours dedicated to the
toolserver
and a protocol for emergency situations will now help us to get the
Toolserver’s
availability to at least 99%.
Contracting a payed admin should also benefit the other Toolserver administrators, as they can now rely on River to look after the every day operations and to coordinate further administration work. Volunteer work
will of
course remain an essential component in the operation of the Toolserver,
as is
the case with all Wikimedia projects.
Wikimedia Deutschland wants to thank everyone who works on the
toolserver, all
admins and users, for their great contributions. We look forward to a
future of
even greater success of the Tooserver project!
