Features / Usability

I forgot to mention that the documentation on Upgrading doesn't appear to cover a 1.9.7 to 1.9.8 path, so I'm a bit concerned. As well, there's a point where the docs say to create a second site for the new install... but another spot in the docs say to just backup, upload to the same location, and run the installation script again (going into the Upgrade section). So... how do we do this properly???
