bilinguals with 20+ years of HA and MySQL replication expe-

any bright mind who can track down some bug, update the pup-
pet configuration and care for all the other tidbits while
documenting their work meticulously, so that the roots can
focus on the more complicated stuff.
unfortunately it is not that easy (and finding a solaris-person is quite hard).
There are other problems too. For example you have to find somebody who is
accepted by WMDE (as owner) AND WMF (as database-owner). Than there is nearly
no or no up2date docu. Also WMDE still believes that the toolserver will not
survive this year so the contract would be limited (so much learning for a
short job). The person would also have to life with me, you all and the
community – and neither is easy sometimes.
Another point is that the influence of WMDE would increase (Wes Brot ich es,
des Lied ich sing) and taken the position of WMDE I'm not sure if that is a
good idea.
I know that some of you wait for stuff to happen and I'm sorry that it takes a
lot of time sometimes – but my to-do-list is long and even my time is limited.
I hope to fix some things during my next semester break (beginning in 2 weeks),
but not everything will be fixed.
Good night.
Sincerely,
DaB.
