*blink* OK, why would you not put tips about upgrading from 1 to 2 on the 
page dedicated to upgrading from 1 to 2? I must have some strange language 
block :)

Oh, that. Well, you could have a farm and keep one unadvertised field only 
for upgrades. Once you've done the changes you like in that field's config, 
you can move them to any of the other fields or to the main farm config

You may try asking specific questions here and once you get answers, update 
that page. Don't worry about grammar and stuff, someone else can clean it 
up later, or move it where it belongs. Just add [[!DocumentationToDo]] 
after the text you write.
