oh, and any sense of whether to go with betas or 'full releases' would
be useful... As a 'proper' (NDA) beta-tester on some commercial
products, I know that betas can sometimes go adrift when new things are
implemented - and I have people using this wiki actively. So where is
the balance with Mediawiki?  are betas pretty solid - especially ones
with security fixes - or are they 'much emphasis on "beta"'? (I think
you get the idea...!)

much appreciated...
