River: Well, you say that part of the issue with the toolserver is money and time... and this person that I've been talking to is offering to throw money and time at the problem. So, what can they constructively do?
i think this is being discussed privately now...
If other research groups are interested in contributing to this, who should they be talking to?

i don't see why access to the toolserver would be restricted to Wikipedia editors. in fact, i'd be happier giving access to a recognised academic expert than some random guy on Wikipedia.
The converse of this is that some recognized experts would probably prefer to administer their own server/cluster rather than relying on some random guy with Wikimedia DE (or wherever) to get things done.
