-- [SCRIPTS] MediaWiki 1.9.3 and 1.6.7

-- Plugin-ify! Hook-ify! In more detail, applications should all be moved
-  out into plugins, scripts specific behavior should be moved into

-  the correct level of control.
+- [SCRIPTS] MediaWiki 1.6.7, 1.9.3 and 1.10.0
+
+- geofft comments:
+    "Connection to scripts.mit.edu closed" is confusing
+    the URL should be easier to copy and paste, which means we should
+      move it out of dialog
+    We should ... upgrade our autoinstaller
+    Apparently installing WordPress updates or themes never indicates
+      completion, and just says "Downloading..", and you have to guess
+      when it's done
+
+- [SCRIPTS] phpBB
+    - phpBB or phpbb? (right now it's the former)
+    - need an upgrade story; srv needs more versions
+    - need a story about install/ contrib/
+
+- Give users a "certificate" of their merge, which they can
+  use to reuse that merge commit if something unrelated fails.
+
+- Human readable quota output
+- Nice error message on --continue if you forgot to git add your
+  resolved file (look for conflict markers)
+- The merge interface is a kind of major UI disaster; you won't
+  be able to use it unless you know how Git works.  Also, the
+  merges can be quite difficult to resolve if upstream has made
+  large formatting changes like reindenting.  We may also consider
+  providing a --rebase option, which seems to do better when
+  big problems like this show up.
+
+- Better mass-* support for just one user (this includes letting
+  a user mass upgrade just his own autoinstalls)
+
+- Show progress or something when upgrading
+- Allow 'sticky notes' for future upgraders to notice
+- .wizard/url semantics are subtly wrong: in particular, if we
+  explicitly configure a URL at install, we should be able to
+  detect this URL as baked in from the configuration
+
+- Rerere support doesn't actually work
+- "Version 3.0.0 doesn't exist; did you mean 3.0?"
+- Be a little more intelligent when perform web checks; for example,
+  if we get a forbidden message, that probably means we go the right
+  address but it's blocked off; if we get a 404 message, that probably
+  means wrong address. Account Unknown is something particularly good
+  to check for.
+- Wordpress module can do something intelligent if we get redirected
+  to the installation page.
+- wizardResolve* files seem to get left in tmp en-mass, and we don't
+  know why.
