There is a conversion page at http://flake.org:8989/742 which will lead you
through converting a 1.7.9 DB to 1.8.0.  All you need is to be able to use
@program and the verb editor, as well as @egrepcore, but basicly you can
just follow the instructions they have on that page.  I don't know of any
1.8.0 DB's, but it would be really nice if we could get one on the FTP
site.  I've had a bunch of people ask me how to get a 1.8.0 server up and
running and I've had to explain why they have to take the 1.7.9 db and
convert it if they wanted to use server 1.8.0..
