I agree that there's lots of benefits to ssl, and its something that we really should do. I just think we should be clear on our threat model, and not mislead people into thinking it will protect them from an entity with the resources of a state. SSL is too often banded about as being something which will totally prevent government type spying. --bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
