Revision as of 01:31, 28 March 2006

The tool server zedler.knams.wikimedia.org (Sun V40z, 2 x 2.2GHz Opteron, 8GB RAM, 6x 146GB SCSI) was donated by Sun to Wikimedia Deutschland. Its purpose is to provide hosting and a combined access to all the useful tools which were written by different people for the Wikimedia projects. Interested programmers should get shell access there to update and care for their scripts.

TODO:

  • write some documentation for users
  • agree on a policy and some guidelines (naming conventions, directory structures, sharing and documenting code...)

Projects

Please see Toolserver/Projects for a list of available tools and other content.

Account policy

Account allocation

Accounts in the Toolserver are given upon request to those who want to use it to develop and run tools for Wikipedia or other projects of Wikimedia. To apply, give your nickname and specify reasons. It's very important, that on the toolserver run only tools. Programs must not be seems as part of the Mediawikisoftware or part of Wikimediaprojects.

Accounts are given for a period of six months. Accounts that have been inactive for six months will be deleted.

Next confirmation date: 1st April 2006


Using convention

You should put an index website directly in public_html, which links to all your tools and gives a short description of them. Files in public_html are accessible at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~yourusername/. PHP is available.

We would like you to put two links at the bottom of every project site: "About this server" which links to http://tools.wikimedia.de, preferably using this button. The other link is "About this tool", which links to a form that says who wrote the script, where to find the source, full description (a template will be provided soon). Your Source code should be documented as well.

All sources should be free. That doesn't mean that you have to publish your code if it isn't ready and looks terrible, but when you're ready and the tool works, you have to clean up the code and put it on ~/public_html/project/source.tar.gz. If you put it somewhere else, advise.

Some administrators have full access to the server to look for security issues and that the server is not abused.

Contact

The place to ask questions about the toolserver and accounts is the IRC channel #wikimedia-toolserver. The responsible and official contact for the toolserver from Wikimedia Deutschland is APPER; for new accounts DaB. Additionally, there is a mailing list at http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l to which all users should subscribe. The current system administrators can be reached at <zedler-admins@wikimedia.org>.

Documentation

see /For users for usage documentation.

People with accounts

Mmm. And I might be interested in starting up another suspect edits bot (I've been interested in how it was coded) since Gmaxwell's might be off for a while, which is unfortunate.

  • de:Benutzer:Dapete I'm developing a database-driven RSS feed for German Wikinews, which is basically working (see example output). For testing and further development a "live" database would be ideal. —10:34, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  • de:Benutzer:Geonick: Small project start with the long term goal to make a Wiki-on-a-Map (see WikiOnAMap). The first step will be to extract articles tagged with Template Koordinate. The second step would be to offer geodata formats (like KML, GeoRSS) as well as a webservices (like a RESTfull service, WMS or a Google Earth network link). Step three will probably add an a UMN Mapserver running on Postgres, combined with an web mapping client (thus the project title Wiki-on-a-Map). --Geonick 00:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC) [reply ]


People interested to join

list your name here and describe what you want to do on the toolserver (with links to tools you have written)

  • en:User:Jdunck: Developing a fine-grained REST statistics service for pages as a complement to Zachte's coarse-gained stats. Also supplying overlays of these statistics onto content pages, i.e. background color varying as the number of editors since text introduction. -- 03:00 1 November 2005 UTC
  • Datrio - I would like access mainly to make the Polish Wikinews easier to browse, and to write up some anti-vandalism tools on the Polish Wikipedia (and then expand it to other Wikipedias). I'm also interested in creating some statistic pages for the Wikimedia projects, but these are only my further plans. Datrio 11:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
  • --porao (responder) 10:21, 22 January 2006 (UTC) Edit counting and other statistical scripts for es: wikipedia. Here you can check lists i have already generated with my script.

  • en:User: That Guy, From That Show! - (削除) Create useful queries (for instance) looking at a category and showing recent article changes to articles that belong to that category as well as (if possible) articles in sub categories. This would be extremely useful to editors who want to efficiently check articles that relate to their expertise (削除ここまで). I am removing my request (02/11/2006). I'm working with a local copy of Mediawiki and will re-apply when I have some examples ready.
I have a lot of database & PHP/etc experience and training, but I can't see specific information about what the tools.* tables include. I'd like to make tools that let editors find more efficent ways to watch categories/articles that they are more knowledgeable about. en:User Talk:That Guy, From That Show! 06:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
This is not an objection, but there is something like that on toolserver: [7] 62.251.18.213 18:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
Thank you very much for the information. That's one of the many possibilities I am very interested in. -- en:User Talk:That Guy, From That Show! 22:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

  • Talrias, for working on suggestions/feature requests/bugs such as bug 4818. I am currently running the bot "khitan" in #wikipedia-bootcamp (a helper bot), and I have 4 RSS feeds of each reference desk page on en: generated hourly which I will transfer.

Any word? There's been some positive feedback; having run with it for a while on a local machine with dumps, it would be a lot nicer to run off the toolserver. -- ForteTuba 18:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Dijxtra: I wrote a bot which helps maintain w:WP:AID. It gets the page, parses it, and sugests what to do (doesn't edit anything). At the moment I run it localy from my machine, but would like to put it online and make it usable for anybody. (削除) It seems that both servers I have acount on have python version prior to 2.3, so I can't even test my php interface to the bot. Hence, no link to my bot. (削除ここまで) I put my bot online: [8]. It'd be great if I could move it to toolserver. --Dijxtra 14:18, 24 February 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
Will gis his account soon. --DaB. 21:06, 27 February 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
  • en:User:AaronSw. I'm the developer of infogami a wiki-like system with a SQL backend. I want to apply some of the features I'm developing for Infogami to Wikipedia. For example, I've got some HTML blame software that calculates who wrote what piece of an article based on the revision history. (example) AaronSw 00:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
  • de:User:gnosos for working on suggestions/feature requests/bugs to the developers
  • en:User:vangelisP interested in developing a "getWikipediaArticle" soap service that will return the text of an article maintaining section and sentence structure. The intention is to use your facility for prototyping purposes. Since the service will perform queries, the latter will be restricted to low frequency and small result size. -- 13 March 2006
This is the only tool I can link here (the others are on my personal computer), it tracks the Amazon.de Sales Rank of the Wikipedia-Book. This old version uses mrtg, a newer one uses rrdtool. --Leon ¿! 20:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

List of people to invite

if you find your name here and you'd like to use the toolserver, move your entry to the section above.

I think this will be problematic, because sql queries which runs for hours will slow down the toolserver. --Filzstift 11:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [reply ]
