first if a user create an account then he has to manually create his own
user page.

with the config variable user_homewiki you can "define" if the user
create his homepage on the current wiki (default) or on a central wiki
(e.g. if you using a farmwiki). this is very helpful because then you
can have central user homepages and also the links e.g. from
RecentChanges (to the username) links automatically to the correct
central user homepage.

The page "CategoryHomepages" makes a FullSearch for all pages where
belongs to the CategoryHomepages BUT only on the same wiki. A farmwiki
wide search is yet not implemented. but as I explained before if you use
"user_homewiki" then all homepages will be created on the same wiki. be
aware if users already created homepages on different wikis you need to
manually move them to your know user_homewiki. also need to setup
correct interwiki names...
