If we have a vote, then I'd say stick with Mediawiki and find out why Codex
can't be upgraded.

So, to put my money where my mouth is, I will pay a bounty of $350.00 US to
the first person who upgrades Codex to MediaWiki 1.5.6 before April 1, 2006!
Two rules:  the dataset you upgrade must be done from the current data and
you must warn this Email list, in advance, you are doing the actual upgrade,
so we can halt any edits of Codex until the upgrade is completed.
