I'll take this opportunity to:
a) plug the fact that I've written a basic bot framework in C# that
works on .NET just as well as it works in Mono on the toolserver:
b) mention that I think that a Windows server is a great idea and
would open the Toolserver resource to people who've grown up with
Windows and don't know the first thing about Unix -- this is pretty
common for folks who didn't learn computers in a computer science
program in college.

I think the best solution may be to make the
toolserver's existing
support for Mono more widely known, and encourage our .NET gurus to take
a look. :) Mono should be source- and even binary- compatible with much
existing wiki-related .NET code, as long as it doesn't rely on stuff
like the IE WebBrowser control; most of AWB's WikiFunctions.dll seems to
function for example. The developers of AWB, Huggle, etc. might be able
to whip up some exciting stuff for the toolserver that builds on their
existing codebases.

yes, quite... any discussion of implementation is going to be
contentious. i was hoping to avoid that until there's
actually a clear need for it.
It is not clear there is a need yet... there may well not be. (if I were
betting, I'd bet that way, regardless of how nifty some client guis on .net
might be, they're not relevant)
But the tangents make it harder to tell. :)
