-This section describes how to upgrade the whole Taler setup on the
address@hidden Web site.  Here, the deployment scripts include a
-``stable'' setup at @url{demo.taler.net} and an ``experimental'' setup
-at @url{test.taler.net}.  This section documents the steps for moving
-the ``experimental'' logic to the ``stable'' site.  It is mostly
-useful for administrators of @url{taler.net}, but given that all of
-the configuration files are public, it may also make a good starting
-point for others.

-First, make sure that the deployment @emph{AND} the deployment scripts work on 
the @cite{test.taler.net} deployment.
