This topic and some of the stuff I've been reading (Google App Engine's
PHP docs, various AWS docs, etc...) has brought up a few new additions
to my old ideas around wiki hosting, especially my old self-serve idea.

Reading the AWS docs also gave me the thought of a wiki host run on AWS
with load balancers, auto-scaled servers (the source of the wiki code in
some object store or something not dependent on a server's filesystem),
and the job queue in SQS using spot-instances occasionally to chew
through the job queue by temporarily spawning a normally expensive
server at a cheap price.
