I think that the current version numbering system is confusing, incremental version increases from 1.15 to 1.16 to 1.17 to 1.18, etc suggest to most people minor changes with no compatibility implications. This is not the case with MW. The Chrome version numbering is the other extreme, releasing every 6 weeks a major version increment. In the end I think that a version system should give an idea how much has changed under the hood. just my 2 cents. Diederik

How many servers do you have?
- It would help to get it down to 2.
I assume my comments apply to many other small wikis that use MW as well. Most operate on a shoe string budget.
You should try running MediaWiki on HipHop. See
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HipHop
It's not possible to pay developers to rewrite MediaWiki for less than what it would cost to buy a server. But maybe getting a particular MW installation to run on HipHop with a reduced feature set would be in the same order of magnitude of cost.

Are there any production wikis running MW over HipHop?
No. There are very few test installations, let alone production installations. But isn't it exciting to break new ground?
