Am I correct in thinking that the WMF gives WMDE a grant for the running of the toolserver, or was this just a one time thing back in 2009 ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_DE/Improve_toolserver_reliability)? If it's regular, does anyone know the details of it (is it annual, how much is it, is there a breakdown of how it is expected to be spent etc)? Actually, is there a page with a list of all the financial (and in-kind) support that is provided to the Toolserver, by the WMF, chapters and individuals? THO
