-====== Hogfather Update 01 ======
-The latest version of the software this site runs on (DokuWiki) goes by the very Pratchetty name of **Hogfather**. There are advantages to keeping up to date with the latest version, so I've been experimenting with the upgrade process.
-There are two main problems: first is the (minor) hack I made to the software (which can easily be redone), and secondly the plugins I use to make the site as versatile and user-friendly as it is. I found if I remove just one of the plugins and performed an upgrade on the rest, things run almost exactly as expected - almost.
-=== ===
-I have to work my way through all the plugins to make sure they all behave as expected. One casualty is a conflict between the left-side menu tree and a new feature of DokuWiki that defers javascript. Either the new feature has to be disabled or the menu must be allowed to run in its default configuration. I understand a fix might be forthcoming.
-I'll continue to work on this problem and any others that arise as I try to allow an upgrade without sacrificing functionality. Be assured that I'm testing all this on a copy of this site, not on the 'real thing'.
