Hi Vasanth,
This is a really good portal. 1925 is a steep number and kudos to all who screened for activeness to list. Two quick thoughts:
Can there be a quick filter to show only "available" or "unavailable" tools? Can there be an advanced search with a few other parameters? A long list is helpful but most would like to filter to find specific tools under a particular category.
That said, this is a really good start!

Dear Tool Maintainers of Toolforge,
The idea for Tool-Watch https://tool-watch.toolforge.org/ originated during the Wikimania Hackathon 2023. A group of us was exploring various tools from Toolhub and noticed that many of the links we clicked were not functioning. This sparked our interest in finding an existing monitoring tool for tools at Toolforge, but we were unable to locate one. Motivated by this experience, we began developing Tool-Watch, which has been live for some time now.
As part of this initiative, we are considering implementing email notifications for tool maintainers. The goal is to notify maintainers if their tool has been down for an extended period, allowing for timely intervention and maintenance. We believe this will help keep our tools running smoothly and reduce unnecessary infrastructure costs and make the catalogue cleaner.
We value your input and would love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Specifically, we’d like to know:
- Would you find email notifications helpful if they are triggered
only after extended downtime?
- Should the notification be triggered after 3, 7, or 30 days of
downtime? Or do you have any other time frame in mind?
Please feel free to share your feedback by replying to this email or joining the discussion on Phabricator T368816#10201603 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368816#10201603.
Also, special thanks to Soham and other contributors for supporting me in building this tool!
