It shouldn't be that titanic hopefully...

I've added the information here:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ 
Installation#HUpgradinganXWikiInstallation
(btw the download page did say "Make sure you check the Release Notes  
too (Amongst other things it contains instructions on how to migrate  
an existing XWiki installation).")

Let me know if it helps.

There is no specific upgrade tutorial yet for upgrading from 0.9.x to  
1.1. It would be nice to have one though so we'd be happy to work  
with you to get one written. Thanks for the offer.

To get started did you check the release notes for all the version  
from your version up to 1.1? The upgrade instructions are contained  
in each release notes. What we haven't done yet (and we should  
probably do it - feel free to modify the release notes to do this if  
you want) is to aggregate the upgrade instructions so that users  
don't have to look into each release note.

It's also very possible that some upgrade instructions are missing  
from place to place so we need to work this out together.

Let us know precisely what error you're now getting.

I also know that some users have upgraded to 1.1 from 0.9.

Thanks
-Vincent
