We use the term "tool" a lot in our community, usually to refer to projects
hosted on Toolforge (and before that, Tool Labs, and before that, the
Toolserver). But what is a tool?
On Meta I've crafted a preliminary definition based on my own
understanding.[0] Let me know if it's consistent with your understanding.
If not, feel free to recommend changes. (I'd be very curious to see if
other definitions exist!)
Thank you,
James Hare
