Hi All, My oh my, how the time flies! Well, at least the new server is up and running, and stable. It has RAID, and a slightly faster processor. We just need to scare up an extra UPS for it. The next steps are: 0. Check that backups are running OK. 1. Check to see that MySQL is set up correctly on the new server. 2. Try to export the existing MediaWiki contents. 3, Import the contents into the new system. (Hopefully there won't be issues like we have to convert the data in some intermediate steps.) 4. Make an announcement, and let people try it out. 5. If things look good, freeze the existing wiki, and do the final export / import. 6. Go live with the new IP address (will require a DNS change). I'll let you all know when we can try out the test version. BR, James
