Hello listmates,
I have a MediaWiki 1.8.2 installation that needs to be modernized...
How realistic - how difficult - should I expect the procedure of
taking it up to 1.15 to be?
Thanks.
Boris.

It should be completely painless. First make a backup of your wiki
database (just in case!). Then copy the extracted 1.15.2 files over
your current installation. Finally run 'maintenance/update.php' from
your command line.
If you don't have a command line on the server you're using, you
can also try re-running the installer. Copy LocalSettings.php to
somewhere safe, run the installer like normal, then copy your old
LocalSettings back.
