If what you're trying to do only involves having the exact same panel
replicated in all your subwikis, it can already be done as of right now :-)

To do this, here's what you need to do:

   - Let's assume that your main panel is on www.yourdomain.org and is
   called Panels.MainPanel
   - Go to your first subwiki's admin page in edit object mode
   subwiki1.yourdomain.org/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object
   - Find the panels field (either left or right panels depending on your
   preference)
   - In the field, put the panel name in the following way:
   xwiki:Panels.MainPanel
   - Save the page
   - Repeat with all your subwikis

Now, your subwiki uses a panel stored on your main wiki. Each time you
change the panel, its changes will be reflected on all subwikis. Basically,
you can reference and include pages from other wikis anywhere in your
subwikis using the following syntax : wikiname:SpaceName.PageName

Hope this helps,

Guillaume
