[Mediawiki-l] Test snapshot for MediaWiki 1.6.0

Before I release a formal 1.6.0, I'd like if a few people would quickly test
installation of the current snapshot.

Generally 1.6 is working quite nice on our own servers, but the installation and
updater code might not be as well exercised. I've done a few basic smoke tests
on my own, but a few more under different conditions might be wise before we
make a fuss about The Big Release.

Release notes (not finalized):

As a reminder, we're planning to start on a quarterly snapshot release schedule;
about every three months we'll take what's currently running, branch it off and
release it. Security updates will continue to be made on those release branches
for some time, but feature development and non-essential bugfixes generally will
go on the mainline and be available in the next quarterly release.

So 1.7 is tentatively scheduled for July; 1.8 for October, 1.9 (?) for January, etc.
