Re: [Wikitech-l] GSOC and networking
Interesting. That would be an -ops project, not a software development one. It seems a riskier deliverable, although certainly interesting for WMF. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

That would be useful from a privacy point of view, though just making all logins secure by default would be good first start. Making the entire site SSL-capable would be an interesting engineering problem: can the increased cost due to higher server load be amortized over the number of users given their typical browsing habits?

Adding a secure login feature would also be a cool project. You can connect via the secure server[1] but that seems to be down atm(?), also I thought we did have IPV6 setup for the sites.

There is a secure login option, and the login page has a link to it, but the link wasn't showing up in the right place in the Vector skin.

Re: [Wikitech-l] GSOC and networking
There is an SSL option: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/MediaWiki . However, making https://www.mediawiki.org would be another useful project. 2011/4/4 Michael Costello > Hello, > > I was encouraged (hello, Sumana) to post a Google Summer of Code idea > and solicit comments.

[Wikitech-l] GSOC and networking
Hello, I was encouraged (hello, Sumana) to post a Google Summer of Code idea and solicit comments. So here goes. Perhaps entirely outside of the scope of GSOC, I think it would be a fun project to make wikipedia.org and wikimedia.org accessible over IPv6. Also, while creating an account to post to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2011 I noticed that my login was insecure, and that there was no SSL option. Adding a secure login feature would also be a cool project. Cheers, mc ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
