Re: Upgrading mediawiki
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.

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?
