I think the debate is more Meta wiki or MediaWiki.org.
Petr - my understanding is that Huggle can be utilized by non-WMF wikis. As such, I'd recommend (or advocate for) MediaWiki.org to house it. Probably in the main namespace - which (again - as I understand it) houses things specific to MediaWiki software that isn't documentation (Manual:), extensions (Extension:) or API (API:) related.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've generally understand the division between the two development wikis (not counting the operations wiki) as:
- MediaWiki.org: Anything software development related to the
MediaWiki software itself - including supplementals - so long as it is not WMF-exclusive - such as extensions, MW manual, non-app mobile code, etc.
- Meta's Developer Hub: Anything software development exclusive to
WMF projects (but not necessarily project specific) - such as toolserver, WMF specific bots (outside pywikipedia), WP mobile apps (I imagine a lot of work would be required to make them work for non-WP sites), SUL, etc.
Imho, a separate namespace should be created on mw.org for such things, called Tool: or something. We already have a lot of absolutely unrelated stuff in mainspace, would be great to sort them out.
