I think there is a big difference between "projects" and
"installations". So thats way to vague a category to be of use to
people needing info on DSpace installation procedures.
I think that there should be a clearly defined location on entry to
the site that contains tutorials and presentations on dspace
installation/customization that go on in DSUG meetings, including
those that are located at other sites. But something like this
already exists

I agree that it's important to be able to show prospective users some
examples of "this is as easy as it gets". However it might be useful
to show some of the range of possibilities, so that people can get a
realistic idea of which kinds customizations are easy, which are
costly but readily doable given sufficient resources, and which are
downright difficult.
Also, is there a central directory page of popular (finished) patches
that add visible functionality? That would be another way to help
people evaluate DSpace w.r.t. their requirements, by (among other
things) showing how much work is involved in different kinds of
alterations.
I don't visit the wiki often enough, but my impression has been that
work-in-progress and completed projects are jumbled together, probably
because when projects are completed they just stay on the page and
stop getting updates. Regularly moving released mod.s to a "released
projects" page would help to make it clear what you can just plug in
now and what you may be able to help develop, which is an important
distinction depending on your needs and resources.

means the exact opposite.
