[Mediawiki-l] Release time (roadmap) of 1.6?

[Jeff Lane]

Great, thanks. That's what we've been doing with 1.4->1.5, on a test
server. We'll go ahead with that, then move to 1.6.

Moving from 1.5 to 1.6 should be pretty smooth; the database changes are
relatively minor.

1.4 to 1.5 is a big change, so test that offline first if you're able.
