[Moin-user] Upgrading from 1.5.7 to 1.8.0 and moving to a new machine

[Rick Vanderveer]

Hey David,I think the steps you outlined sounds reasonable.  The only
concern (which I'm sure you have covered) is to make sure that no one edits
the wiki on machine 1 (so your pages get out of sync).

No, you don't need to worry about upgrading from 1.5.7 to 1.5.9 first.
