[Mediawiki-l] Upgrading from 1.26 to 1.3 - best way?

[Nick Bell]

1. 1.26 is great, but I want the latest! I would rather not have to 
reenter all my wiki data - what's the best way of transferring it 
across? I've managed to get the XML export to work, but how to I 
_import_ it to the new site?

2. I don't find it very easy to search for support on the metawiki using 
the search What's the easiest way of finding whether somebody has 
answered my question about mediawiki previously?

Thanks as ever

Nick
