Hoi,
I applaud this action. Great.
The next step is making it not so easy for the NSA to harvest their ill
gotten gains. We could and should share our data from cache servers that
are much closer to our users ie outside the USA. The benefit would not be
so much in frustrating the NSA but more in
for an organization taking on the NSA for spying..why are we using
https? doesn't that show that we are already scared of them and
running with our tail between our legs?

This is great, Emeric! We’d be glad to take a look at this. :)
For our part, Wikimedia Philippines has a travel policy as part of our Expense
Policy, and it’s been working well for us for the last 3-4 years now. We’ll be
glad to share our policy as well.
I created draft of the article about the case
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Wikimedia_v._NSAin English Wikipedia.
I'm not sure it's not too soon to move this draft to the main namespace.
Please add content and then move it to main ns when you think it's ready.

Michelle and Geoff - thank you.
This is a big step; I am glad that WMF can help move this case forward.

Probably a good time for everyone to know about EFF's HTTPS Everywhere:
HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox, Chrome, and Opera extension that encrypts
your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more
secure. Encrypt the web: Install HTTPS Everywhere today.
Kudos to the Legal Team on this important case!

Curious question, by the way: how controversial would you expect this move
to be domestically? From e.g. a Swedish perspective, the NSA is an
intelligence agency of a foreign power and the other mentioned
organizations are either largely uncontroversial and seen in a positive
light (Amnesty,
Aye, I also only have anecdotal evidince at this point (from my father who

It's difficult to overstate how much people love us. We tell them
everything about everything, and we're mostly right and try to stay
neutral. But it's all written by just people! So it's cosy as well.
With SOPA, we discovered that: when Wikipedia says you suck, you *suck*.
So I'd expect that

MySQL has replication over SSL, so I assume the answer is Yes.

In the U.S., there is also a strong minority contingent of Libertarians,
