"wm.org" referring to which site? Wikimedia.org? Mediawiki.org?
Granted not everything is up to date, but there is a fair amount on Wikitech [1] that is being updated. A lot of the live configs are also on NOC [2]. Between sites like NOC and access to Puppet (via Git), you've got a majority of the data AS it is actually used (rather than as it was, when written, on wiki).

As I understand it, WMF has (a) hundreds of Apaches (b) running Ubuntu. How do you set up the Apaches to a substantially-identical configuration? I looked on the wikitech wiki and couldn't see it.
(I ask only for my own interest - I currently want to take the Debian/Ubuntu apache2 out and have it shot.)
You may be asking only for your own interest. I, on the other hand... well, I'd like to know for my own interest as well. On the other hand....
Boss-people: at what point is it cost effective for Wikimedia to detail someone at least part time to cleaning up and updating all of the various bits of outdated technical documentation on wm.org and meta and other such places to current and accurate? This seems like it would benefit the WMF technical staff just as much as we the public...
