Hello,
Currently we're running a fairly old mediawiki version (1.16) and 1.19
is out (and in EPEL-6 as mediawiki119). Should we upgrade?

Yes, that's come up in passing, although should we now be concerned
about any security exploits on 1.16 to make us rush?
Otherwise, who is interested in doing or helping with this?
We also need to look to see:
* Are there changes between the versions we need to prepare for?
** Database
** Extensions
** What else?
* What are the upgrade steps?
* How long should we plan an upgrade to take?

Hi,
In my experience Mediawiki does a pretty good job of making the upgrade
process painless - they provide admin scripts that detect version
differences between software and databases, and auto-live-upgrade the
database when needed. Of course it's good policy to make a back-up of
both software and database to allow roll-back in the case of a problem
anyway... Upgrading Mediawiki is a similar experience to manually
upgrading Wordpress in terms of themes & extensions, if you have
experience with that.
Which extensions do we use?
Cheers,
Dave.

Just in case others can't see, I see:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SupybotNotify
Only the first one is a critical service, and I reckon it will likely
work with the upgrade. The Cite extension could break without forcing a
rollback. The SupybotNotify extension is one I think we've discussed
turning off (or sending to a different channel than #ovirt), thus
another non-critical extension.
