Re: [Wikimedia-l] Planned school curriculum by MPAA

That's not likely to happen given who's in control of those lesson plans. You're still just arguing about the correctness of the material. I agree that this curriculum is stupid and misleading, but that doesn't explain why the WMF should care enough to make a statement, or even continue discussion, about it. *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia blog moving to WordPress.com
Also, it'd be a bit difficult to set up, because I doubt the China firewall is stupid enough to allow simple CNAME redirects, so we'd have to dynamically interact with whatever Wordpress.com's DNS environment is. -- Tyler Romeo On Sep 6, 2013 1:11 AM, Matthew Roth mr...@wikimedia.org wrote: On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 9:54 PM, Greg Grossmeier g...@wikimedia.org wrote: I can't think of one off the top of my head that is in that category (they don't usually advertise that they're wordpress.com-hosted) to test/suggest.

I used another computer and I don't remember if Iogged out. Not yet. There is an extension Extension:SecureSessions that implements this, and hopefully will be deployed in the future (it's not ready for deployment yet, since it needs more development). On Sat, Aug 31, 2013 at 10:45 AM, James Alexander jalexan...@wikimedia.org wrote: Not a perfect answer for this but my understanding of the way the sessions work at the moment is that you can force other sessions closed by logging out. If you log out in one place you will be logged out in all places (this remembering is dredged up from a discussion months ago but I just tested it and it does seem to hold true :) ). Obviously that doesn't help the 'see if you have other sessions' problem but if you are ever concerned could work well. It still means you can log IN to multiple sites just once you click log out it ends all sessions. Also not (entirely) accurate. In MediaWiki core, logging out will only clear your current session, not all sessions. Only in CentralAuth will logging out do such a thing. Why such functionality exists and is in contrast to core functionality is beyond me. *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerro...@gmail.com ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
