-One of the reasons for using MediaWiki is that it'll be easier for upgrading. MediaWiki is trival for upgrading as all the data is stored in an SQL database and the settings are stored in a file called 'LocalSettings.php'. So it should be a matter of overwriting the MediaWiki files, adding '#!/usr/local/bin/php' to 'index.php' and calling an SQL update script. I haven't performed an upgrade yet n the Redbrick Wiki so when I do I'll update these instructions.
