Question for the group:
Would an officially supported general-purpose MediaWiki hosting service be
useful to people who would like to run wikis, but don't have the time,
expertise, or resources to maintain their own installation?
If so, what can we (as interested parties in MediaWiki development and use)
do to make this happen?
I'd say agree the best approach first with folks like
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services
There are many small companies trying to make a living out of (among
other things) MediaWiki hosting and expertise. If we are missing players
more involved with the community then we could start knocking those
doors rather than triying to build an own house and call it "official".
PS: I'm maintaining my own instance at gandi.net simple hosting and
surely I would like to have a specialized host not billing me as a
company. They would have latest stable MediaWiki available + a bunch of
tested extensions. I should only take care of my LocalSettings.php and
whatever unsupported extensions I decide to have).
