Geek to Live: Set up your personal Wikipedia

WikiMedia has posted a tutorial for installing MediaWiki on your USB thumbdrive. A wiki and required web and database servers can be installed, configured and running under various versions of Windows in 10 minutes (with practice and on a good day) after downloading 2 files totalling 7MB in size and following the procedure. Granted, having MediaWiki on your own web server means you could access it anywhere you're connected to the internet, but there are times that this could come in handy for note-taking or organizing, especially when you don't have internet access.
Install MediaWiki on a USB thumbdrive
You don't have to lease server space or keep your home computer always on to access a personal web server —you can run a web, FTP, and database server straight from a USB drive . A slim web server package called XAMPP fits on a USB stick and can run database-driven webapps like the software that powers Wikipedia, MediaWiki. Almost two years ago you learned how to set up your "personal Wikipedia" on your home web server to capture ideas and track document revisions in a central knowledge repository. Today we'll set up MediaWiki on your flash drive for access on any Windows PC on the go. A word on security: The XAMPP web server package is intended for web developers to use while building web sites, so by default, the passwords are blank and configuration is not secure.
Run Your Personal Wikipedia from a USB Stick
Can MediaWiki become portable?
Pardon my ignorance on this issue, I'm a techie novice. I see on this page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_on_MoWeS_Portable_%28Win... that MoWeS Portable includes MediaWiki which can be run from a stick. And I see that someone here at PortableApps installed Portable XAMPP Lite and MediaWiki, but it's not clear to me if this can integrate fully with PortableApps.
