Folks,

I have added a brief wiki topic on upgrade plans.  Tentatively Howard
and myself will attempt to do something tomorrow night.

   http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Trac_Instances#Planned_Upgrade

It should be noted that there may be Trac unavailability for up to four
hours during the upgrade efforts.

Best regards,
