OSCG advertising
It would be very nice to see OSCG take off... a colaberative effort under the creative commons licence needs advertising and more traffic... the first place to start would be the openMosix mailing list and ask for a link (beg them for one on their home page).
I suppose this would all be better discussed in a forum because global load balancing (round robin, distributed technologies, mirroring, caching or whatever anyone thinks of) is all about part of what the OSCG stands for.
So as advertising the OSCG will bring more traffic and hopefully more interest and in turn, more advertising for users own networks, considerations must be made for bandwidth... the ideal cluster should consume a minimum... we dont want our networks clogged with an unnecesary ammount of traffic (eg. openMosix runs best when each process uses a single CPU on the cluster which in turn reduces migration costs and unclogs the network).
OSCG will definately have to work hard to recieve a lot of traffic, but ultimately should prove we can deal with it.

OSCG.org Forums
A forum should be set up on a cluster hosted by one of its members, it is easy to change the wiki link in the navigation menu to point to forum.oscg.org instead of using this page...
Separate projects and clusters can then have sections within the forum to help advance cluster and project development for the OSCG.

Dave's set one up at the www.oscg.org site

Cluster Home Page
Instead of using a page called Cluster:MyDNSname.com for a clusters home page, the category page would be a better option.
ie [[Cluster:IND-Network.co.uk]] would become [[:Category:IND-Network.co.uk]] for a clusters homepage.
To link to the page from within the wiki, you can use the appropriate link formatting
ie [[:Category:IND-Network.co.uk|My Cluster Home Page]]

MediaWiki Extensions
kw_include_file
Im wondering if this would benefit OSCG as it could allow users to insert web content from elsewhere into their pages.
A random quote, cluster status, or even latest news could be embedded into pages.

I've just installed this extension - check the previous link for details on the syntax. An example of this in action is on the OM Benchmark README page
