Project:MediaWiki Farmers user group

The MediaWiki Group of Third-Party Wiki Farm Developers is a proposed user group. Our mission is to improve and standarize the way MediaWiki wiki farms are setup and run.

There is currently no documentation on how to set up a farm, and every single one does it differently. The biggest wiki farm, the Wikimedia Foundation, has an incredibly complex setup which not repeatable by other people wishing to start a farm. Our group will benefit Wikimedia sites by improving documentation of the Wikimedia setup, in order for other developers to replicate it locally, lowering the barrier for new developers to hack on MediaWiki and Wikimedia code.

We plan on engaging in active code review, development of new features, and providing support for other wiki farms.

Possible ideas include:
 * Better support for shared user tables
 * Create a bundle of "Global"-type extensions which easy documentation to set up
 * Implement a sane configuration management system
