Hi.
The recent draft privacy policy mentions that the Wikimedia blog
(https://blog.wikimedia.org) will soon be hosted by WordPress.com.
Was this discussed anywhere? If so, where?
What is the proposed URL structure of a blog hosted by WordPress.com? I
think there's a reasonable expectation that

This is a very good point - we must try to protect logs of visitors to

Cool idea,
Mediawiki is indeed the most versatile platform, but that just means
it's okay at most things. It doesn't mean it's better than other
platforms explicitly designed for a particular job ;-)
I'd prefer self-hosting on general principle, but if our operations

This was definitely mentioned at Wikimania. What I understood is that it
will be hosted externally for performance and reliability reasons, but that
the rest should remain the same.
Anyway, I'm not an expert here, just what I understood from Matthew Roth

I think this makes 100% sense from an operations perspective. Anytime you can
outsource a lower priority web service - fantastic.
However, from a community advocacy perspective - I am less convinced. I would
be curious if anyone from that team could chime in as well.
