Hi all,

Thanks to billwashere who updated our wiki skin to work with mediawiki 1.26.2, the upgrade to the latest mediawiki version is back on the cards.
I made a migration test on my machine today and checked that everything is working well (using the correct version this time :P).
The real migration will be done on Sunday May 1st around 9am GMT (the exact time depends on how early I wake up). I expect this will take a couple of hours at most, including backup, migration to new version and tests. During that time the wiki will probably be unavailable for about 20 minutes and the rest of the time will be read-only.

It is all working now on my test server and ready to roll out. My plan is to do the upgrade on Sunday March 27 during the morning UK time. The wiki will be locked to read-only for between 1 and 2 hours, and will be completely unavailable for a portion of that time.
