Here's the Village Pump proposal (permalink because VP archives relatively quickly): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village...

We posted it as a proposal in the Village Pump, but it was only after the original proposal failed to hit consensus. I'm actually both an open internet advocate and a regular Wikipedia editor, but I try to be careful (and was perhaps too cautious) about not seeming like I was parachuting in to a discussion underway. Next time, more WP:BOLD.

Is the code available for this version too?

Hi snowwrestler, I'm one of the shrill and incomplete activists at EFF.

You're correct in the abstract that such an agreement would need Senate review, but as noted in the piece and as we described in a letter to the Senate signed by Amnesty International, FSF, Free Press, and a bunch of others, the USTR is currently seeking "fast track authority" to bypass that process.

Read the editorial: the NY Times is endorsing an agreement that the public can't read. If they wanted it to be conditional, they could have written it that way. But instead, they acknowledged concerns and then dismissed them without a good explanation. And the public can't explain it themselves because we can't read the text.

For Android, see the Guardian Project's work, especially Gibberbot: https://guardianproject.info/apps/gibber/

For iOS, you could try ChatSecure: http://chrisballinger.info/apps/chatsecure/

If you want to use the same key on both clients (which carries some additional risks if, say, your phone gets stolen, given that key is stored in plaintext) you may find the Guardian Project's documentation of different OTR key file formats useful: https://github.com/guardianproject/otrfileconverter

Whoops! It looks like you're posting a few months early to do the whole grinch thing. I had fun.
