Actually, I don't think it's possible to upgrade a work from any of the licenses, version 1.0, 2.0, or 2.5, unless you a) get the licensor's permission or b) make a derivative work.So the problem is that the CC-By-SA-1.0 does not have the license upgrade clause?
Yeah, or just stay at 1.0 until there's a compelling reason to upgrade. There are a lot of wikis that have done so.Sounds like you'll need to either scrub the 1.0 content out of the wiki or get original sources to upgrade the license.
I think our vague plan is to a) upgrade any contributions by anonymous contributors automatically; b) get permission from as many identified contributors as possible, and c) isolate or delete stuff we can't upgrade. I think it'd be actually possible to "skip over" contributions by people who won't upgrade or whom we can't contact.Alternatively, you could use a blanket license statement for the site which says that content is under the By-SA 2.5 "unless otherwise noted", and then put "By-SA 1.0" notices on the affected pages.
