Well, you're talking about a fresh dada install and then importing your 
database or something, right? Hmm. I think that'll be pretty similar to just 
doing an upgrade entirely.

Moving your site, especially since it's already in a debian vserver will be 
very straightforward. The upgrade could be easy or a nightmare, depending on 
how good the upgrade scripts are. ;)

Any dadaistas have comments on how easy upgrades have been? I think Colorado 
(the site Glen maintains) is a couple dada versions old.

The next couple weeks could be pretty busy as I have non-techie things I need 
to do (and in the geek time I have, i'll be setting up the server). Oftentimes 
with me it's easiest if you just pop into IRC and say "how about now?" ;)

Thanks,
