This is awesome, I've used it as a total MediaWiki noob to poke around at
the internals. One suggestion I'd have is to include a script that
populates some sample data in the db (pages, users, edits, etc.). Does
anyone have such a thing, should we dump a particularly active test setup
from somewhere, or would we need to make something new?

I announced it a few months ago, when I had something nominally useful to
share. Some people found it useful, but it was something I had cobbled
together in a hacky way as I was learning Vagrant, and I wasn't very happy
with the end result. In the intervening months, I got a lot of useful
suggestions, and became more proficient in writing Vagrant and Puppet
configurations, so I decided to do things over.
There's a lot more work to do (better profiling tools!), but I think it
works quite well now, so I would appreciate some testing and feedback from
others.
Installation instructions are available here:

I hope you check it out, and that you find it useful. Feedback would be
much appreciated.
I'd also like to publicly thank Yurik for testing this extensively on
Windows and providing detailed logs when things broke. Thanks, Yurik!
