*@Domas, @Tim: As Wikimedia tech staff. Have you changed your mind? Are you working to blackout English Wikipedia?*
See the Wikitech-l mailing list. The technical discussion seems to be over there, at least in part. The matter seems to be more a "How can we get this done properly wiithout breaking a load of other things before the appointed date" then a "We don't want to do this". There is a prototype over here: ( https://test.wikipedia.org/?banner=SOPA_blackout_alt), for which i hasten to add that it is only a technical prototype, with no final text, layout and so on. ~Excirial On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 5:00 PM, emijrp <emi...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2011/10/28 Tim Starling <tstarl...@wikimedia.org> > > > On 28/10/11 01:43, emijrp wrote: > > > Obvious sarcasm is obvious.
