@DaB+Silke: Thanks for your infos!!
@Ryan: Of course I am trying labs already since quite some time now... ;) But you know there are some issues... (1) is the mail thing - which should be solved soon (2) is what to do with tools that are non-free or use non-free libraries? What e.g. when the tool developer got permission to use a library and it is open source - but the owner does not want to make it free? Or the license(s) labs wants to enforce?
Greetings

If you're asking "is it safe to move tools to Labs", my experience so far say "yes". I can't speak for all unique toolserver features, though.Cheers,Magnus
If you don't care about losing your (nfs) file system every once in a while and having very slow databases, you can probably start moving stuff to toollabs. I'm waiting for these bugs to be fixed. It's been more than 3 months now and no clear estimate when it will be fixed.
Yes that was also my experience - I started using Labs under the bots project and it was not that reliable than TS, e.g. no backups of the file system and stuff like that - hope this has changed with the tools project now.
You're in for a world of difference. If you haven't switched over, you should try now.
- Most tools will just run when you copy them to Tool Labs. Just

E.g. what about E-Mail? Do I have the possibility to forward mail addresses like e.g. drtrigonbot@tools.wmflabs.org mailto:drtrigonbot@tools.wmflabs.org into a file?
This isn't available yet, but we hope to have this worked out soon. It's waiting on legal.
