Oh - if anyone can authoritatively compose a WMF blog post on the state of the move to SSL (the move to logins and what happened there, the NSA slide, ongoing issues like browsers in China, etc), that would probably be a useful thing :-)
I'll be posting blog posts each step of the way as we move to SSL. We have plans on SSL for anons by default, but there's no official roadmap for doing so.
Something sooner than later might be good. Also have you guys read the presentation. A lot of this is very chilling....
I agree with Jimbo. We need to fix this as best we can.
Thank you, Derric Atzrott
