Hi Tomasz,
I think Platonides meant this as a friendly warning - not because we would be harmed, but because your website might be less secure. Because as I understand it, that is the main issue with outdated software: security issues. You probably don't want to be confronted with those in the middle of the contest.
Best, Lodewijk

I have been retrieving the list of websites for each participating
country.
There were 8 countries for which I didn't find a url at the linked page from
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Partici...
I saw a number of sites using outdated software. If your country is listed below, you should update your CMS or bring this mail to the person in charge of the website.
I also found a couple of pages linked to the https version of their website, but the server provided the wrong certificate. If you provide https urls they should work.
Finally, a few statistyics: 18+1 countries* are using WordPress and 5-1 MediaWiki**. Hungary seems to be the only one to be doing something
different
and not to use a CMS.
The following errors were encountered:
Well - what's the problem that we are using older version of WordPress or MediaWiki? Does it harm anyone?
