...for clarity, could you explain why the changeover was started before these features were completed? If you were planning on eventually carrying them over, why was it necessary to do these things out-of-order?

That's another part of this, is that the releases keep feeling like the editor-base is being used for surprise bug-testing.

Rebuilding the platform on new software and releasing it in a "big bang" fashion would introduce a significant amount of bugs and make tracking them down very difficult.

By releasing with bi-weekly increments, we are able to trace bugs to causes more efficiently and tackle them more quickly.

Since not every wiki utilizes every feature, moving over wikis which will have the feature set they need to thrive earlier allows better data to improve platform stability and performance.

We have QA as part of the dev process as well as a supertester group of the most savvy editors on staff reviewing things, but not very bug will be caught, as we cannot compare with the scale of the full userbase.

A 100% bug free release is a pipe dream. If you find a company that manages to pull it off, let me know, so I can buy those developers several drinks.
