Hi all,

Could the wording on the .org requirements page be changed for clarity? http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

Right now the text is:

To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things:
	- PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
	- MySQL version 5.0 or greater

The requirements have changed as of WordPress 3.2. The minimum requirements for WordPress 3.1 are PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.1.2.

IMO, I think the following would be clearer:

As of WordPress 3.2, the requirements to run WordPress are:
	- PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
	- MySQL version 5.0 or greater

For WordPress 3.1 and previous versions, the requirements are:
	- PHP 4.3
	- MySQL 4.1.2

If you are interested in upgrading to WordPress 3.2 and your host is not up-to-date with PHP and MySQL, please contact them and reference this page.

Any thoughts on this?

Tim
