One of the products of our MediaWiki Release Management meetup here at Wikimania yesterday is a new mailing list for people running Wiki Farms. We want to start standardizing the tools and methods of setting up these farms.

If you're interested, please join us: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikifarm

If you have a wiki on shared hosting or run a wiki farm, we'd love to talk to you. Please come by.

Time: Saturday, 1430-1530 in room N114 (next to Logo Square).

Description: MediaWiki is mainly developed for the Wikimedia sites. So, naturally, there is some room for improvement when it comes to the tarball releases. Besides automating the release process, we care a lot about third party users and extension developers. So in this meetup, we'd like to listen to you. What are your needs? Where do you feel the current release (process) is not good enough? What are the biggest issues? And: do you want to help?
