The Outreach dashboard seems to have been down all morning. At least I can't get it to load...
I think moves afoot to make that more robust?

Use caution opening links and attachments. For working, critical volunteer tools, Montage<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Montage> is an excellent tool and as far as I know is actively maintained by volunteers. It is extremely useful for judging photography contests and gets a lot of use by organisations across the movement.

I met some of you at the UK meet-up at Wikimania, but for those who don't know me I'm Sammy - I'm a software engineer at the WMF, and on the board of Wikimedia UK. At Wikimania I made a comment about affiliates keeping a list of "critical volunteer tools" (i.e. toolforge/etc. tools which are maintained by volunteers, but crucial to how you operate. Things like BaGLAMa). I'd like to get together a list for Wikimedia UK, not only to keep track of tools which would impact things if they became unmaintained, but also because I'm currently putting together a talk on "The impact of unmaintained tools on the Wikimedia Community". Does anyone have any examples of; a) working, critical volunteer tools and/or b) broken/unmaintained, critical volunteer tools? I'm also in the "Wiki folk connected to Ireland & the United Kingdom" telegram group if you'd prefer to chat about this 'in realtime'.
