When is a project worth enough to be on trunk and when it needs to go under tools ?
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.
