[Gramps-users] ADMIN: Proposal to introduce https

[Nick W. <ni...@be...>]

Gramps has three main applications on its website: (1) MantisBT 
bugtracker, (2) MediaWiki wiki/documentation (3) WordPress main site/blog.

Currently all of these are accessed solely through http, with a 
possibility of some security implications.  As well, it would just be 
'good practice' to utilise https...

We are considering introducing a certificate (available without charge 
to Open Source projects such as Gramps!) so that we would use https for 
each of the applications.

The intention/hope would be that it would not impact on users - that if 
you tried for a page with http, it would re-direct you to using https 
anyway, without you having to remember.  But that might have some 
teething issues, given the diversity of the applications involved.

I'd welcome any discussion, pro or con, with a view to making any change 
considered acceptable to us generally sometime in middle/late January.
