I believe we can make installing a fully-featured
MediaWiki service system
as simple as copy&pasting 2-3 lines to a shell, or even executing a remote
installer script that runs those lines for you. Additionally, we can offer
VM images derived from the same install process through Bitnami or others.
To make this happen, we need to evaluate the options, make a decision and
then follow through by making this our recommended and supported
installation mechanism & providing a solid upgrade path for existing
content.
I created

bug for the task of evaluating and deciding on a distribution strategy
targeted at VMs.
Excellent -- we should definitely work on making those available and get
some folks to try em out and see how well that covers most needs.
