OK, so I did a quick look through the Orain framework, and the crux of the setup is basically a dynamically configured SiteConfiguration object combined with the custom Extension:CreateWiki. It's an interesting setup, and it's definitely a good base, but IMHO if we're going for the best solution then sysadmins shouldn't even have to go that far to set this up.

I'm one of the founders of Orain (https://orain.org), a new
non-profit, ad-free wiki farm. I've administrated several wiki farms
over the past few years. I've been publishing our configuration and
tools on GitHub (https://github.com/orain), and I plan to improve
what's already there in the near future. I'm about to leave on
vacation for about 10 days, but after that, I plan to put together
some documentation regarding the best practices in wiki farm
administration.


This is extraordinarily helpful. I'll try and look through the configuration when I have free time. Why fix something that's already been fixed?
