Upgrading We've used MediaWiki at work with PHP 5.1.x (from CVS) for a long time without any problems. I'd suggest you just start another branch of it e.g. 2.0 which is for PHP 5.1 only. Then just don't upgrade 1.x anymore. :) People will just have to upgrade. They just don't know it's for their own good yet.. --Jani
