I think a reasonable requisite to using the tool server is that your code go into some sort of a versioning system. A tit for tat sort of thing. This along with that would ensure's that the resources expended here are accountable and not lost.

Hi!

http://tools.wikimedia.de/ says "Eventually, this page will contain an overview of the projects hosted here." but In my opinion every user of the toolsserver should have to provide a short description of his projects. So I wrote it in an XML format so if you put such a file in your directory we can automatically create a list of all projects by language, wikis, authors etc. :

http://tools.wikimedia.de/~voj/projects.xml

In modern browsers this file is transformed with

http://tools.wikimedia.de/~voj/projects.xsl

so have a look into the XML source.

What do you think? Is this a good way to collect information about the projects at toolserver? You can document your project as detailed as you like in any format you want but at least a minimal description in some format we should agree on is needed.

That's completey independent from describing what your project is about. It's just two sentences what your are doing and it should be understandable to non-programmers too.

For that, it would be pretty much as useful to just use a section on metawiki.
