hello,
the account expiration date was originally scheduled for April 1st, but has been extended to May 1st. on this date, all accounts will expire (and no longer be usable) except those which have had the expiration date extended.
if you have an account, and you would like to keep it: - if you have one or more working projects, please describe these (preferably with examples, URLs, etc.) - if you do not yet have anything ready (particularly if you're a new user), please describe what you intend to work on. a rough estimate of when you expect it to be ready would be useful. if some issue is holding you up (e.g. lack of text access), please mention that.
if you no longer wish to use your account, please say so.
this information should be mailed to dab@daniel.baur4.info and cc'd to zedler-admins@wikimedia.org. (there's no particular deadline, but if you wait until one day before the expiration, you might find that your account expires because no-one managed to look at it yet...)

Hi kate,
I'm submitting my report on my user account. In recent times, I've found myself quite busy with non-Wikipedia related things, but I plan to return soon. Examples of working projects: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tim/counter/, http://tool.wikimedia.de/~tim/top_edit?user=x, and some RSS feeds I'm currently working on.

I've worked on a fine-grained statistics/facts service off and on for a while on my own. One of my biggest limitations has been server resources. It'd be helpful to have a toolserver account to speed development cycles.
The goal of the service to answer questions like "how long has this particular sentence existed on this page" and "how many editors has this sentence survived".
With or without the toolserver account, I hope to have something useful by October or November.
Thanks, Jeremy Dunck

But it's very interesting! Can you please describe your projects at meta also?
Greetings, Jakob
I had several emails in my inbox this morning because my tools were returning incorrect data.
It appears that about 6 hours ago enwiki, and only enwiki, stopped replicating. I now see that the Wikimedia developers have moved enwiki to its own cluster without warning or coordination. Not like they'd have anyone to warn: If I can't contact someone with authority, no doubt that they are unable as well.
Based on the prior track record I expect this to never be fixed, just as text replication was never fixed and the replication of the asia cluster wikis was never fixed.
Toolserver had become mostly useless for many of my projects without high speed text access, now it is almost completely useless for all of my projects... and I'm tired of catching flack for the unreliability of the server. People have depended on the tools I provided, but are constantly let down by the unreliability of the service.
When I was granted access and when I spent many hours writing software I had an expectation that someone would be at least trying to maintain the system. I never expected that it would be ignored, that my work would go to waste, and that if I offered to do the work I too would be ignored. When I provided tools that allowed enwiki users to adjust their processes and work more effectively, I believed that they could rely on these tools working most of the time. I understand now that I was mistaken.
I am tired of wasting my time.
Because I can't even expect the nonexistent toolserver administration to perform the trivial action of turning off my account, I have deleted my ssh authorized key... thus my account is effectively disabled. So don't worry, you can go on doing nothing.
