See http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Cookbook/WikiFarm

This allows authors to structure a wiki into "fields" -- collections of groups. All fields share the same code base and you can have per-field customisations, in addition to the standard per group and per page customisations.

You end up with a structure like this:

Group.Page1
Group.Page2
Field1
    Group.Page
    GroupX.Another
Field2
    Main.HomePage
    Another.Page

and so on. Groups like PmWiki and Profiles are shared across all fields. So Group.APage is a reference to a page in the current Field; Field:/Group.APage is a reference to a page in the Field field; and PmWiki.TextFormattingRules always refers to the central PmWiki group.

This is rather different in approach than what Pm is about to release, but it meets our requirements; others may also find it useful.

The README file gives step-by-step installation instructions, plus an example to test that your installation has worked correctly. It should "just work".

Comments and feedback welcome.
