This is awesome, I've used it as a total MediaWiki noob to poke around at the internals. One suggestion I'd have is to include a script that populates some sample data in the db (pages, users, edits, etc.). Does anyone have such a thing, should we dump a particularly active test setup from somewhere, or would we need to make something new?

I announced it a few months ago, when I had something nominally useful to share. Some people found it useful, but it was something I had cobbled together in a hacky way as I was learning Vagrant, and I wasn't very happy with the end result. In the intervening months, I got a lot of useful suggestions, and became more proficient in writing Vagrant and Puppet configurations, so I decided to do things over.
There's a lot more work to do (better profiling tools!), but I think it works quite well now, so I would appreciate some testing and feedback from others.
Installation instructions are available here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Vagrant
I hope you check it out, and that you find it useful. Feedback would be much appreciated.
I'd also like to publicly thank Yurik for testing this extensively on Windows and providing detailed logs when things broke. Thanks, Yurik!
