Well it has to be asked...
Do we have a timeframe for porting the Wikipedia to Magnus's new script? I'm personally all for it, the sooner the better.
Do we need to get an action plan for the migration? After all I think there will be a lot of housekeeping to take care of.

Of course I would enjoy seeing my script doing the "real job" on wikipedia, and as you can see on the meta wiki and the "bugs" page at the test site, except for some details, it is already running pretty well.
BUT - as I mentioned on several occasions, I am currently pretty busy learning for my finals (right before christmas, actually;). And even though the script looks pretty stable, if a major malfunction shows up, I might not have the time for extensive corrections now. If you are willing to take that (very small) risk, or someone else is familiar enough with the code to make some hotfixes if needed, you have a go from me ;)

Magnus, I was having trouble finding the 'bugs' page. I noticed a couple of them, and wanted to leave some comments. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The bugs page is here:
http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/wiki.phtml?title=wikipedia%3ABugs
I guess it would be better not to make the big switcheroo until Magnus is ready to handle serious problems. Besides, this will give us all more time to get used to the wiki and to catch potentially important bugs.
