Re: Wikipedia logo uses non-free font

I've read a lot of speculation over the past couple years about what font is used. Lots of names are tossed
around, both free and non-free typefaces, but most of them look nothing like it. One person suggested
Calson, another said it was Bitstream Cyberbit.

Re: Wikipedia logo uses non-free font

By the same token, the Wikimedia logo uses a non-free font (Gill Sans) too...

Re: Policy proposal: Anti-vandal fighter role

Stewards and meta contributors generally agreed about the proposed
policy. Until now there is only one explicit objection (without more
explanations). So, if you want to participate in policy creation,
please go to [1].

As it seems that we agreed about the policy, we are talking now about
the name of the role. There are proposals like: Global maintenance,
Cross-wiki maintenance, keeper, watcher, janitor, Global janitor,
globetrotter, traveler, vandalism cleaner, global helper, global
assistant, nomad, monitor. So, if you have a good idea, please go
there and suggest, discuss etc.

Voting

Hi all,

I hear a lot of problems with the voting. First of all, i had
apperently to hear it in the pub, and it is not spread through other
channels? (but this might come later?)

Second, I cant log in anyhow because of security certificates which
are invalid, and i cant get around... (especially people who are even
less technically advanced will have problems with that, which gives
systemic bias)

third, I hear many nlwiki people complaining that they are denied
access, because of too little edits, even though they fit the rules
easily...

Re: Voting

I can report that most (eligible!) users from hewiki are denied the
right to vote because they purportedly do not meet the requirements. I
think there is something very wrong with the list of eligible users
passed on to SPI, and it manifests itself non-uniformly over the
projects (in other words, it looks like some projects are fine and
some are not).

Proper disclosure: I'm a candidate on the current elections.

Re: Voting

Whatever the problem is it is also having an impact on en.wiki, I'm unable
to vote as well. I'm told that this is a known issue that has been referred
to the company.

Just click on "yes, I want that untrusted certificate" inside of the
main part of your web browser. By default, new browsers don't like
self-signed certificates and certificates signed by others than
"official" certificate renters.

Re: Voting

Happy to report that thanks to quick intervention by Daniel and others
from the elecom, the problem was tracked and apparently solved. The
localhost IP 127.0.0.1 was listed as the IP of all voters, and this IP
happened to be indef-blocked on nlwiki and hewiki by the open proxy
bot RonaldB.

Happy voting everyone,

Harel

Re: Voting

I only have the option "add exception" .
<Q>
Secure Connection Failed
wikimedia.spi-inc.org uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
    * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it
could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
    * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past,
the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

          Or you can add an exception…
</Q>

Even though this was not possible last time, it is now :S So I added
it as an exception...

Re: Voting

see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436789. maybe you
vote for that one to get it included in future, as there is no obious
reason to not do it.
