Hello everybody,
I plan to use my replication-tool, which I had program for the asia-db, to sync zedler with the new en:database-server. I have spoken with Tim Starling about a mysql-user, but for tim it was late and he went to bed.
I try now to speak with brion, I hope it will work.
This was just for your information, so you can see, that we work on the problem.
Sincertly DaB.

Thanks DaB - it's so nice to see that you invest your time in developing software instead of writing perfect English ;-) Maybe some native speaker can kindly help you :-)
I'm very sorry for Gregory but in my point of view it's pretty difficult to run one of the 20th largest, still growing websites with so little staff and coordinate with an additional server with some more and some less needed tools at the same time.Tools that provide functions that are so essential to Wikimedia projects that you always have to rely on, should better be integrated into MediaWiki to get full attention. I think help with developement of MediaWiki is as welcome as help with managing the toolserver.
If you refer to Wikimedia Germany: we are willing to pay traveling costs, hardware updates and other expenses - but neither can we perform magic.
Frankly speaking I'm glad that Wikimedia projects are still developed in the open source way. This includes that systems stay beta a long time and nobody gets fired because of temporary failures.
Greetings, Jakob

Ah, but it isn't made any easier by ignoring offers to help.
I'm not claiming that I expect toolserver to be flawless. But we should at least be as useful as advertised, running months without text access with no real explanation isn't acceptable.
If I'd been told upfront that toolserver would be non-maintained in the way that it has been, I would have invested little to no time in it... so thats where much of my frustration comes from.
