It seems I'm a little late to the party. As I mentioned in an earlier message, I was on vacation. I'm back now and in the near future, I'll try to address the problems that some of you highlighted with Orain's configuration (large configuration file, no way to configure on-wiki, too complicated, etc.). If you have any other suggestions, feel free to please create an issue or a pull request on one of our GitHub repositories ( https://github.com/Orain ), come chat with us in #orain on freenode, or reply to this list. :)
I think Orain's code should be a good base for other people who might want to set up their own wiki farm, but as I mentioned earlier, we launched only a month ago, so many improvements are still to come.

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.
