Hey, that was easier than I expected.

I just spoke to Stefan - we do have a spare clean VM pretty much ready
to go, originally provisioned some time ago to become a new developer
VM for the webteam, but I never got round to moving everything from
developer.pgadmin.org. We can put that to use.

The other thing we need to consider is tying this into the existing
community logon system. I believe mediawiki now supports OpenID, so we
should just see about hooking a provider into the existing database.
