I've just taken a squiz at the roadmap for Elgg 1.5.

0.9 upgrade path

Yea! An official upgrade path from 0.9! I am so double plus chuffed :-) This really makes a difference in my confidence level. Thanks chaps.

Basically, what is essential for my system (earlham learning spaces) to transport over to 1.x is:

What would be nice but forgiveable if it didn't go :

keywords
profile details
the feeds don't really work on my 0.92, so I'm sanguine about not having them go over.

What would be really nice but doubtful:

I've just checked the 1.5 roadmap and the "0.9 upgrade path" plugin is no longer listed ???

Well I cannot wait until February, because that is when our second semester of teaching starts. So I need to upgrade everything first, then rewrite my Elgg - Mediawiki integration to work with the new version of Elgg. (Every group set up under Elgg becomes a namespace in Mediawiki.)
Is there anyone who has done an upgrade the hard way, using SQL? How did the Brighton people do it?

I agree. I've been waiting for months now to get a clear path on how this will happen or what the easiest way to achive a migration would be with no answers. Elgg is great in a way but there needs to be a focus on making it more functional that lets say a site like Ning. Is it really that difficult? Some phpbb intergration or bridge and a non confusing interface that easy for users to just pickup and go.
