Can you set a different deploy date for different projects? E.g. 18.00 UTC for Poland. I will not be able to be there when hell will brake loose as I will be working and I'm sure most of the Polish tech admins will be too. Note that we was able test Vector with current scripts before the deploment so this is a bit different. And I still remember the ammount of complaints bouncing here and there when Vector came and broke Wikipedia and what not... Not that they were all valid and could have been avoided, but maybe some could.
Not that I'm complaining ;-), but prototype is... well it's empty for now and it would be good if we could test scripts and do it as fast (and as soon) as possible. I've already asked Leinad, but maybe someone could import current Mediawiki namespace to prototype quicker.
For one thing - I think our script for moving the search bar to the left side panel will be probably broken (as you make it wider now) and this will probably have to be fixed right after deployment...

You could also test the scripts in advance. If you think a particular script will break/need to be disabled with the switchover, you can always warp it in a if (wgVersion=="1.16wmf4") { check. That kind of action shouldn't be needed, though.
Hm... Not a bad idea.
I don't see that plwiki have its search bar at the left sidebar, I don't know what does that script.
You can switch with a link at the top of the page (in p-personal) on the left. It stays that way thanks to the cookie setting and you don't have to be logged in... Just a little something I've done for those wanting to go back a bit to monobook but not all the way ;-). I can already see it's broken on prototype (we now have MediaWiki imported) but that's an easy fix with that wgVersion hack.
Cheers, Nux.
