Is there a timeline for when bots may be able to run on the cluster? I ask because one of our most active anti-vandalism bots is down because the volunteer was unable to afford hosting. And there's been a request to see if the bot could be run on the Tool Labs. Thanks.

Hi, we are now in process of setting up this part of labs, does the operator have access to wikimedia svn? It's possible to run a bot there but with a lot of limitations
I'd also like to know how feasible it would be for me to move CorenSearchBot there. It's currently running on my own infrastructure, and I have no problem with doing so indefinitely, but since that bot is being relied on by the project for some critical copyright work, it'd probably be best if it lived somewhere someone could take over if I could no longer manage it.
That said, it's not lightweight; at peak hours it can eat up a whole IA64 core's worth of processing power. Coren 15:59, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
if you could step by in wikimedia-labs it would be cool (freenode)
@Petrb, I just wanted to thank you very kindly for all your work here and especially for your help with the bots. I've made an extra donation to the WMF in your honor. Thanks very much.
Thank you very much for support :-) actually I am a volunteer not a wmf employee, but I will try to do best in order to get it working soon
