I thought the lab instance was only an incubation environment and that the final goal was to put gwtoolset on the WMF prod. servers. Isn't it?
the final goal, as far as i understand it, is to have it run as its own application in its own environment, similar to the way some applications are running on the current toolserver. i was told that instead of using the toolserver we should use a wikimedia labs instance. would love to hear if this is not the intended outcome.
Hi Dan
Sad news :(
Having as goal to integrate (at the end) the gwt extension in WMF prod. env. would: * help to involve the rest of the community of developers - at least for the code review process. * improve the global quality of code of the tool by applying WMF high dev/op standards. * remove the work (for the gwt team) of maintaining the environment running (for example avoid scalability issues...) * offer a better visibility to the tool. * simply the understanding for the end-user by using a commons.wikimedia.org builtin solution (instead of a third part tool)
Regarding the size and the purpose of the project, we should IMO try to include that goal in the list of outcomes of the gwt project.
