I've been reading my TriLUG mail recently with gmail and on one of
the earlier messages in this thread it's automatic "advertising"
stuff on the side pointed me to this url:

http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/wlg/5142

which then pointed me to this bug:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215243

Based on reading these, and on looking at the CACert website
some more, I think it might be advantageous to look into
whether TriLUG could get into the Web of Trust that CACert seems
to be creating.  If that happens, and CACert makes it into
the default mozilla cert list, that would be awesome.

Comments?

Cheers,
Tanner
