- One of the earliest problems I encountered was providing a systemfor updating configuration, it would be very difficult to maintain variables in a file so moving to configuration in the database is probably the only choice here (possibly both a database based and file based choices, but this could become hard to maintain).
Maybe have a directory filled with config files that get loaded automatically?
That's a possibility, and probably a good idea. While using the database seams like a sexy solution but I've been quite weary of using it given it's tendency to become unstable, the fact that the data would have to be serialized, and possible opposition by Wikimedia tech (syncing configuration could become a nightmare and you probably don't want it on the database servers anyway -- many hundreds more queries). Such a system that could do this might also be a solution to allowing web-based MediaWiki configuration.
Thanks, MinuteElectron.
