>
> Hello all,
>
> As we outlined in our blog post on the future of HTTPS at the Wikimedia
> Foundation[0], the plan is to enable HTTPS by default for logged in
> users on August 21st, this Wednesday.
>
> We are still on target for that rollout date.
>
> As this can have severe consequences for users where HTTPS is blocked by
> governments/network operators *in addition to* users who connect to
> Wikimedia sites via high latency connections, we've set up a page on
> MetaWiki[1] describing what is going on and what it means for users and
> what they can do to report problems.
>
> Please help watch out for any unintended consequences on August 21st and
> report any negative issues to us as soon as you can. Bugzilla[2], IRC
> (#wikimedia-operations), or the (forthcoming) OTRS email are all fine.
> Also, feel free to email myself or ping me directly on IRC.
>
> Best,
>
