Hi!
After consultation with WMF, I would like to correct what I wrote the other day about toolserver admins. According to Erik Möller, WMF needs all toolserver admins to
- be identified with their real name;
- have been individually vetted by WMF operations;
- have signed a non-disclosure-agreement with the chapter.
Whether someone is actually paid by a chapter is not crucial. Sorry for the confusion! Cheers, Silke

Hi,
WMDE's Silke wrote at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.toolserver/5674 regarding the promotion of additional toolserver roots:
| DaB is right: WMF as the database owner accepts only paid roots. | [...]
Is that statement correct, and what is WMF's rationale for it?
