I'm wondering whether Wikimedia has ever considered participating in the
Internet2 research network (Wikipedia

official website http://www.internet2.edu).
I had found out about it after reading a news article about how Missouri

They can always use their normal connection to access us, but having a
direct connection could improve this access.

We could change that. Suppose a university wants to request the entire

transfer of data from them.

The WMF's servers have nothing to do with Microsoft.
There do exist alternative processor architectures, not even just ARM

don't think migrating our software (particularly Labs'
virtualization-related software) to them is
but the fact is it
doesn't cost more money to switch to ARM, and you jettison a bunch of
legacy x86 crap that nobody uses but take millions of transistors
which need to be powered.
ARM is not compatible with a lot of our software, and besides if we really

Wikimedia Labs uses x86 hardware virtualization (just one example). We

Please justify that claim (that would be the cost of the CPU or hard disk

SSL makes it more difficult; some private wikis are already restricted to
SSL. We also have to consider that irc.wikimedia.org has a recent changes

At minimum, the transit links should be encrypted if feasible. A good
reason not to encrypt is that it's extra performance overhead.

I imagine that once IPv6 is widely in use, this problem will go away

Not completely correct when it comes to public computers and mobile IPs.

I think this doesn't really address the core issues that surround this
hotly debated topic of paid editing. No further comment.

Wil, we talked about this on IRC, so I won't repeat what I said. But what I
did *not* say is that the foundation tends to let the community do what it
wants, and it would be against that long-standing tradition for staff to
try to force a change in the community.

I think it's becoming abundantly clear why I think it's best if I
don't interact with WMF employees in private.
