Hopefully it will only be for about an hour in the morning while the
database is upgraded (new versions of MediaWiki require upgraded
database tables).  I have all the preliminary work done I think:
 - MediaWiki 1.13.3 is installed on the server (but not configured)
 - the latest versions of the extensions we use are already in place
 - the math component has been re-compiled

To-do on the day:
 - make Wiki Read-Only
 - upgrade the database tables
 - move the images to a common location and symlink (so images don't
need to be moved in a future upgrade, only symlinked)
 - edit the LocalSettings.php file and add in all the customizations we
have (should all be documented on the Wiki maintenance Wiki pages)
 - turn it back on, and cross our collective fingers :-)
