I spent about 3 months setting up my wikae, and I was surprised by how
few resources there were, despite how many folks actually set it up.
During that time I was at capacity, so I was unable to edit the
resources in the MediaWiki pages, but I hope this list can coordinate
it so we can update the docs.
Here are a few things I would like to see:
* What everyone thinks a wiki farm is (like Tyler's list). I ran into
conflicting configurations setting up mine, and having a planning doc
would be helpful, similar to how the various features of a wiki are
laid out for new folks.
* I would like some of the larger wiki farm services to contribute
their management scripts. If it is the case that no one has asked them,
or they have other reasons besides keeping it secret, we could probably
get a lot of great work from those folks.
* I am fine having various levels of complexity for setting up a wikae
family, as long as one of them is geared towards folks that have never
run a wiki before. I guess this means making it easy to run MediaWiki
as a multisite instance on par with WordPress (although with a little
fuss we could make it like Drupal, which is not as easy as WP, but
still better than our current state in MW).
I'll be watching the list closely. I will bump my server recipe to the
top of my "write this or die" queue.
