We haven't reached consensus on exactly what software design we're going to use, but I believe we're largely in agreement that more amane-type machines would be useful. I've asked for another one or two depending on budget; I'm not sure what the status of that proposed order is.

Pardon my cluelessness, but what is an "amane-type machine"? Checking [[Amane]] shows anime characters, but no sort of clustering scheme...
You're looking for [[Nishi Amane]]. Actually, you're looking for http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers which lists the current Wikimedia servers. Amane is simply the name given to one of them, which has the following specifications, according to the table:
amane 11/2005 NFS storage server Fedora Core 3U, 2x Xeon 3.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 16 x 400GB SATA disk
