-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Fwd: [Toolserver-l] Future of the toolserver Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 11:08:22 +0200 From: Pavel Richter pavel.richter@wikimedia.de Reply-To: UK Wikimedia mailing list wikimediauk-l@lists.wikimedia.org To: UK Wikimedia mailing list wikimediauk-l@lists.wikimedia.org, Toolserver_Management toolserver_l@wikimedia.de

Just to clarify: As I have stated many time before, Wikimedia Deutschland is committed to run and maintain the Toolserver as long as Wikilabs are not in position to offer the same level of service as the Toolserver. This committment includes the purchase of new hardware, where necessary to keep the servers running. As in the past years, I hope for support by other entities in this project, both financially and with administration of the Toolserver.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Pavel Richter CEO
