Any really important or very popular tools should be made into MediaWiki extensions or put in MediaWiki core. The Toolserver (and now Tool Labs) is a good environment for proofs-of-concept, but neither are stable or well-supported enough for production-like use. As an example, I deprecated my "watcher" tool by incorporating it into MediaWiki core's "info" action. Now the maintenance burden is on MediaWiki's shoulders. :-) MZMcBride P.S. https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
