At the end of this month, I am planning to buy a new server for some of the other stuff that's on the wikipedia server (jimmywales.com/timshell.com/kirawales.com/ and various other odds and ends).

Should I install the latest from the cvs?
Probably a good idea -- there are a number of bugs fixed there that we've been getting multiple bug reports on (including the 'bad link causes following text on same line to disappear' and 'edit links for articles with non-ascii characters in title are mysteriously converted to UTF-8 by certain versions of Internet Explorer, resulting in the wrong page being edited' bugs).
