that's the reason why there is a toolserver:
Because the WMF (and the
mediawiki-develeopers/techs) can not do everything themself and there are
several people with good ideas outside the WMF.
So the idea was "we give them a (yes 1 ;-)) server and they can hosts their
stuff there (in opposite to host it somewhere external)" – that part worked
quite well; there was also a second part "and than their stuff can move into
mediawiki when it is done and the code is good enough (and it has to be
php…)." – that part never worked (at least I do not know an example).
If some of you needs help moving a php tool into a MediaWiki extension,
drop me a line. :)
