I meant to ask this last week and it may be documented somewhere already
(if so, just reply with a link), but I'm having a little trouble wrapping
my head around Toolserver --> Tool Labs right now.

The Toolserver is a pool of shared resources, with a few roots, and a
structure that's largely single user. That is, each Toolserver user gets
his or her own directory inside /home and then works in that area.

Wikimedia Labs, as I understand it, is generally a pool of shared
resources, but the idea is to create virtual machines that each
individually have roots and only a few users per virtual machine (i.e.,
per project).

My confusion is how this "tools" project within Wikimedia Labs will be
structured.
