Lessons learned after performing a not500 export and a now510 import:
* The wiki users carry passwords over (as expected, they're stored in the database).
* MySQL export/import went fine:
<pre>
mysqldump -h localhost -u <old-user> -p --default-character-set=binary <old-database> > novaordis-wiki.sql
mysql -u <new-user> -p <new-database> < novaordis-wiki.sql
</pre>
