Hi everyone, After assessing the current readiness (or lack thereof) of our HTTPS code, we've decided to postpone the deployment for a week. We have a number of things that we'd like to get cleaner resolution on: * Use of GeoIP vs enabling on per wiki basis * Use of a preference vs login form checkbox vs hidden option vs sensible default * How interactions with login.wikimedia.org will work * Validation of our HTTPS test methodology The new plan is to deploy on Wednesday, August 28 between 20:00 UTC and 23:00 UTC. Prior to that, we plan on having a very limited deployment to our test wikis, and we're also planning to deploy to mediawiki.org. Assuming this is sorted out and we have made our test deployments by end of day Monday, August 26, we should have time to validate our assumptions and give people time to see the new system in action. More info is (or will be) available here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTPS (or here if you prefer: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTPS ) Thanks everyone for your patience. Rob
