rapidssl.com says to support a lot of browsers! Its site is also
supported by Konqueror when accessed via HTTPS.

I do not know if it is the cheaper one, directly or through a reseller.

If you can buy it for the project, better. We can transfer you the money. 
Else, no problem.


rapidssl.com seems a good option to buy the project's certificate, being 
directly or through a reseller.

It is $69. The cheaper we get it, through a reseller..., the better.

If we do not manage to get it cheaper via a reseller we could buy it
directly on the rapidssl.com site.

I agree with you, in the name of "webapp usability", the project should not 
discourage Opera and IE use. We should donate some dollars more if it is 
needed.

The project have two donators: the anonymous one and Dave Crossland.
Maybe adding both up we could pay it. I will donate something if it
is needed too.


MJ, you could report the next weeks if you will be able to get it cheaper or 
not. The project is not in a hurry.
