we will simply replace broken parts only; it also means that we will
buy new stuff, so that the Toolserver can handle increased demand. We
do have the ressources to do so, and the money is available within our
annual budget.
so you told me last year and how many servers did we bought this year (quick
help: less than 1)? All new hardware (with the exception of a simple switch
and some memory) that was installed this year was bought in 2011. And I told
WMDE again and again that we are short on hardware.
Why is it so hard to just add a position to your budget-plan
Toolserver-Hardware xx,000€
? If we will not need all of it in 2013: fine. I will not point at the number
and demand that all will be spend. The TS will not need much money (2 or 3 new
database-server would be enough), compared with other projects (like Wikidata,
Render oder the community-project-budget) or the personal-cost (and you know I
ALWAYS said that we need personal and it is ok to spend money there!) the
position would be very small. I just need to be sure that there is money at
all.
Sincerely,
DaB.
