- Use of GeoIP vs enabling on per wiki basis
Do we really think that we're going to be able to whip out GeoIP targeting as alternative in a week?
Tim did this work already. Needs testing, obviously, but the patches are here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/80166/ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/80175/
- Use of a preference vs login form checkbox vs hidden option vs
sensible default
Are we considering putting a checkbox back on login? I think any of the other options are reasonable, but it seemed pretty clear that everyone agreed this was a bad idea (not to mention something few other sites with SSL support do).
Yeah, per our conversation, I think the two major contenders are deep hidden preference and no preference at all. We're going to do the work to make the preference work (since the code is there and just needs a little debugging), and then we can collectively resolve just how hard to find the preference should be :-)
