Dantman et al., Please don't concern yourself with running an 'alpha' version. The MediaWiki code base is kept in a 'ready-to-run' state. If it is good enough for Wikipedia, it is good enough for Wikia.
Remember that Wikipedia runs alpha versions persistently... The _slight_ advantage to running official releases or shortly thereafter is all the community testing. Although most mini-sites don't upgrade until an official release, regular tarballs are available and arguably as stable as any numbered release. I also prefer 1.11.0, but a number of fixes have since been released and ultimately the latest is a better product. Keep you eyes peeled for revisions and bug fixes; I think you will agree. We all have our sights set on 1.13.0; patience is a virtue... Merry Christmas and to all a stable-build! -- Jamie Hari Editor-in-Chief Marvel & DC Database Projects On 12/26/07, Timothy J.
