Hello all, As we outlined in our blog post on the future of HTTPS at the Wikimedia Foundation[0], the plan is to enable HTTPS by default for logged in users on August 21st, this Wednesday.
We are still on target for that rollout date. As this can have severe consequences for users where HTTPS is blocked by governments/network operators *in addition to* users who connect to Wikimedia sites via high latency connections, we've set up a page on MetaWiki[1] describing what is going on and what it means for users and what they can do to report problems. Please help watch out for any unintended consequences on August 21st and report any negative issues to us as soon as you can. Bugzilla[2], IRC (#wikimedia-operations), or the (forthcoming) OTRS email are all fine. Also, feel free to email myself or ping me directly on IRC. Best, Greg [0] https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/08/01/future-https-wikimedia-projects/ [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTPS [2] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org -- | Greg Grossmeier GPG: B2FA 27B1 F7EB D327 6B8E | | identi.ca: @greg A18D 1138 8E47 FAC8 1C7D |
