Hello,

I was looking at some statistics of school students ( < 17 years )
 participation from my state in Open Source program like Google Code In,
and it is ~0. The Government here has initiated a project to distribute
Raspberry Pi for school students[1], and it would be great to have them
setup a Mediawiki development environment with the Pi so that they can
contribute.

The Pi's have 1 Gig ram, and I got a docker container of Ubuntu ( arm )
running smooth. There are few blockers to install MW-Vagrant or the LXC
container, which are:

   1. <bd808> The puppet config for mw-vagrant needs a 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04
   container to run inside
   2. <bd808> mv-vagrant has a lot of bells and whistles that make it
   really want a lot of ram and CPU
   3. <bd808> hhvm is too ram hungry

and lot more. The other option will be to setup a LAMP stack, which would
need to be automated ( need scripts ). I wanted to know if this porting
would be feasible, and worth the development hours, and specifically - if
someone is interested.
