Dear Toolserver people!
Hi! I am the new person managing all toolserver issues at Wikimedia Germany. This means that I am the contact person at WMDE for questions concerning the current toolserver and I coordinate a small team of WMDE staff members for the upcoming migration process to WMF Labs.
Wikimedia Germany is going to support the toolserver as long as there is no alternative ready. I would like to stress that I'll do my best to help you keep it running until then. Please don't hesitate to contact me when any problem occurs. I am in touch with DaB and Marlen and I will help with all I can do at WMDE to reduce failures/the time it takes to fix them.
As you know, Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on a cloud-based infrastructure for tools that will - at some point in the nearer future - have functionalities equivalent to the toolserver. Many parts of it are up and running, but right now, it is not clear when Labs will have all the functionalities. Currently, WMDE and WMF are working together to set up a concrete road map within the next months (until May). Once this road map or further documentation exist, you'll know it, of course.
When it comes to migrating your stuff, WMF and WMDE staff will support you as best we can - you saw Sumana's e-mail on this topic recently. I am looking forward to working with you all!
You'll hear from me again soon and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Best, Silke
