[Moin-user] sharing macros among wiki's within a farm?

[Schwols, Keith C]

What we did with our wiki farm was to put the plugin directory under the
<wiki> directory.  Then we make the <wiki>/data/plugin into a symlink
back up to the common <wiki>/plugin.  This shares all the plugins
(macro, parser, etc) among the wikis.

We also share our user directory in the same manner.  This has been
working well for our wiki farm (9 wiki webs in the farm) over the last
year or so. (Across all the 1.5.x versions)
