atm there are two approaches regarding farming with Dokuwiki [1] and [2], the
first uses symlinks while the latter works using a new feature introduced in
the development version of DokuWiki. Both aren't perfect at the moment because
they're lacking plugin management and configuration management facilities which
would allow the "farmer" to control the "animals". But that's being worked on,
and you're more than welcome to join the discussion/development :).

Not that I know of. Andi might have an answer to this.

We talked about OAuth a bit on the FroSCon weekend. But we haven't looked to
close at that yet.

Of course :).

The XMLRPC interface is being worked atm, new ideas functionality gets added
when people, which are using it hit a problem. Atm I know of a fuse filesystem
implemented in ruby [3], a vim plugin [4] that allows page editing over XMLRPC
and a notefinder plugin [5].

AFAIK Guy Brand is working on a git integration.

That's actually what I'd think is the best option to share data between
DokuWiki instances. However, I don't know much about cluster file systems or
the like ;) (I don't think I've ever seen any performance tips, but I think
there are lots fs reviews found on google).
