All right.
:-)
== Wednesday ==
- We will enable secure login (via HTTPS) by default. This means that
all logged in users will read and edit the site via a secure connection over HTTPS. Given some restrictions/internet blocks in some jurisdictions, we will disable this feature on specific language wikis.
- Will logged in users automatically be redirected from HTTP to HTTPS once
this change is live?
- Will links in e-mail notifications switch from HTTP to HTTPS?
Most importantly, a change like this will inevitably result in a small percentage of users no longer being able to access the site.
** How are editors expected to be able to report issues if they're no longer able to access the site? Will they simply have to edit a village pump anonymously and hope that someone notices?
** Will there be any opt-out mechanism for logged in users?
*** Is the editing community willing to lose a small percentage of editors who will no longer be able to contribute to the site?
After I talk with the relevant/knowledgeable people (namely, Chris and Ryan) later today, I'll add these questions and answers to the HTTPS wiki page on meta.
Thanks for help us be explicit.
