Many of the cookbook scripts aren't written with farms in mind, so
they might not work correctly in a farm environment.  A well-written
module script should be able to go in either farmconfig.php or in
a field's config.php and work properly.

Also, what type of WikiFarming are you doing--the cookbook WikiFarm
or the one that comes with PmWiki (PmWiki.WikiFarms)?

(Side note:  I guess we really need to make a decision on different names
for the two approaches to "wiki farms" so we can avoid confusion about
this in the future.  I'm still willing to relegate PmWiki's "farming" to
a different name if we can come up with one.)
