Wiki Security Upgrades

MediaWiki software receives regular security upgrades. I don't know if Dave is keeping on top of this, but it would probably be a good idea. But requires ftp access to site. So, Dave or someone he trusts a lot!

i would strongly recommend using ssh and sftp instead of the easy to snif telnet and ftp for remote access -- The Nerevarine 09:53, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

Wyre and Garrett seem to be knowledgable enough to do it, and I know Daveh can upgrade a wiki. I'd only give my vote to a sysop, and it seems that Endareth is on a more-or-less permanent wiki break. I wouldn't even give myself my vote, since I know nothing about the PHP nor the inner workings of a wiki. But I do think the wiki needs to be upgraded; we're way behind.. --Aristeo 19:09, 24 July 2006 (EDT)

I've upgraded to 1.6.8 and any further upgrades to the 1.7.x path will have to wait until I am brave enough to upgrade the PHP to 5.0. -- DaveH 20:08, 12 August 2006 (EDT)
