While re-hearing the news because some may have missed it may be a laudable goal, it is a
bit amiss here on this mailing list.
This list is listed as intended as a help/support list for those running/configuring
MediaWiki. It also provides announcements of new versions, bug fixes and security issues.
Hence, your news is beyond the topic scope of this list and far more appropriate for a
personal blog and perhaps, other lists devoted to the spreading of news.
Now, if you have news that the NSA or GCHQ has exploited a security flaw in MediaWiki,
that would most certainly be on topic for this mailing list and would be greatly
appreciated.

"The GCHQ mass tapping operation has been built
up over five years by
attaching intercept probes to transatlantic fibre-optic cables where they
land on British shores carrying data to western Europe from telephone
exchanges and internet servers in north America.
This was done under secret agreements with commercial companies,
described in one document as "intercept partners"."
