Just a thought. I have been hosting pmwiki modules on free hosting sites for quite sometime without problem except occasionally some hosting providers stop the free service. Since PmWiki has its own VPS is would be great if it provides ftp accounts or some kind of web-based FTP to developers. The account could be under sub-domain like <user>.pmwiki.org. Other option would be pointing DNS record of <user>.pmwiki.org to requested NS or IP. Generally allowing personal pages using <user>.pmwiki.org or pmwiki.org/<user> would be a good idea. I would suggest a sign-up form and some kind of admin interface that even allows to install/uninstall modules/skins available on pmwiki and even chose pmwiki version. Also this feature could possibly generate revenue for pmwiki by placing ads on these pages. Not limited but there are other commercial possibilities too. -- Regards.
