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:

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

• Only the "image" content need to be transferred, and I needed to restore ownership to apache:apache and run .
