* 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:

* 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 :-)
