The mediawiki update is now complete, and translatewiki extension installed.  
This afternoon I'll be checking that everyone I know to need it has Translator 
status - the extension can only be used by that group.  The same extension 
handles both exporting for docbook use and online and offline language 
translation.

As this translation to docbook is most urgent, it will probably have to be 
pulled manually, but the intention for the longer term (hopefully ready very 
soon) is scripting that will get everything into the existing system 
automatically.  We will be working on this over the next few days.

Meanwhile, anyone who needs translator status needs to contact me, to ensure 
that they get it.  I've made a few notes that may be helpful on
