: The MediaWiki quarterly update policy is a bit too frequent so we try to update every 6 months or so. The 1.8.x version was just released at the beginning of October and we wait till most of the bugs in a release are fixed (probably about 1.8.5, they are on 1.8.2 already) before we start to plan an upgrade. We should be on 1.8.5 before the first of next year.

:: I see. In our company, we update closer to mediawiki and live quite good with it (of course it's a closed wiki). What about [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Important_Release_Notes#MediaWiki_1.6.x_.28Legacy_Releases.29 updating to 1.6.8]? --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 13:09, 20 October 2006 (EDT) | :: I see.

: We try to stay with what works unless we have a problem. Every new release brings some incompatabilities that we have to work thru and generates a lot of work. If we had only one wiki and no other interests it might be possible but there are over 40 wikis that we manage on this one server and it is quite impossible to update all of them 8 times a quarter. Just as an example, this next upgrade will require changing everything to PHP5 and will break our current "pretty url" scheme, we know how to change to PHP5 but have not yet figured out what broke the "pretty url" scheme and we cannot upgrade until we solve that problem.
