I would't use the phrase "worth enough".
/mediawiki/trunk/tools is for tools related to MediaWiki but
not ran inside MediaWiki. Such as the ruby gateway, a WordPress plugin that
connects to a MediaWiki instance, independent shell scripts, irc bots
connecting
to the API, statistics-related tools that scan a mediawiki database.
I think almost everything is eligible to move down a level into
/trunk/tools,
/trunk/extensions or /trunk/parsers. And then there's several directories
that should
probably be in the separate Wikimedia repo entirely (things like php, otrs,
ubuntu,
wikimania)
Ideally trunk would only contain phase3, extensions, tools, parsers and
perhaps
one or two more.
