23 First off, a big thanks to infra and all involved in the migration. It
24 looks awesome!

26 As to the SSL bit, there is *no* reason not to be using SSL for anything
27 that requires a username / password. And I 100% agree with Tobias. If
28 it's necessary to use SSL to login, it's necessary to use it for the
29 duration of the session. I don't know how feasible it is to do, but if
30 normal viewing (no login) can be left SSL free, I see no issue there.
31 Otherwise however, SSL should be in use.
