Life isn't slow on a farm, but this list needs a kick.
To that end, I've started a project page on MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiFarm
Have a look and see what needs to be filled out.
With that said, I really want to dig into MediaWiki's configuration system[1]. Putting the configuration in the DB (with a wiki column acting as the key so farming would be easier) really seems to be the right thing to do. Larger users (like Wikimedia) would want to use CDBS or something snappy like that, but I'd like to start out with a DB-backed config.
I haven't had time to really do anything with any of this, but I did want to check in with you all to see if there was any news.
