Hi,

I would like to know if it is permitted to install on the Labs tools which could be useful for Wikimedia activities but without having in mind to develop the tool. I searched a bit on archives of the list and on the wiki, but didn’t found anything related.

The specific case is the installation of OpenRefine [1][2] (ex Google Refine) useful to manipulate data, for instance GLAM metadata -- specifically here for a cooperation with a museum in Belgium but it could be for any data manipulations.

OpenRefine is a web tool in Java+Python which listens on a specific port. It is originally intended to run on the local computer. It seems it don’t use many ressources for a single user.

So is there any rules regarding the general case? And if it is case-by-case, is there a checklist for a specific tool (security, ressources, environment, etc.)?

Thanks,
